Owdy Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Fulltext search isnt working very good. Example: searched word "lähihoitaja". It gives 42 results with fulltext, 155 without it. With word "ensihoitaja", its 20/41. Searched with word "hypotermia" (fulltext off). IPB found 4 results, google search found over 10 results, some of them in topics what IPB search didnt found.

Owdy Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Okay, that feature is broken. It doesn't find some words at all. Like "android". 0 results. There are posts about that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teraßyte Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 In my site? Im talkin about my forum: http://hoitajat.net/foorumi/ Nevermind, ignore me. I thought you were talking about this forum for the "android" example. I do get 1 result on your site but that's from google search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owdy Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Yeah, Google search is for Guests. But i got the bug! :) http://community.invisionpower.com/tracker/issue-32182-search-doesnt-find-some-words-at-all/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefreekick Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Same thing is happening for me. It seems to only search thread titles unless you hit "Display Results as posts" even if you have Search in Content or Search in Titles and Content selected. Problem is on here and on my own board. As an example on this forum if you search for Ireland you get one result which is a thread titled Northern Ireland. If you go to advanced search and ensure you are searching for "titles and content" you still only get that one thread showing. If you switch to displaying the results as posts instead of a topic list you get over 200 results from lots of different threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sound Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 sphinx works great via the command line via invision its gone slow, especially when two words or more seems its not the actual engine but the way invision parses the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robulosity2 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 IPB search has been horrible and ignorable . Suggestion, maybe remove your attitude OR go away.. Every post you have made, has been negative and completely unproductive...Just because YOU do not understand software and how release and devolopment cycles actually work in web based applications/frameworks does not make the producer "horrible and ignorable" (What ever that even means) And that's comming from ME and Im sure Lindy can even vote for that one. Back to the topic at hand. On my site, if I search for something like "friendship" (and I'm looking at 3 topics containing the words/text strings that are fully public) I get 0 results Is it possible during the upgrade some how search perms got muffed?

Cyril Washbrook Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Is it possible during the upgrade some how search perms got muffed? Seems like it. Hopefully there's a fix in the offing: search is one of the most fundamental functions for a forum operation. No matter how good the new version is - and I think there are some quite substantial improvements - I'm not prepared to upgrade as long as search isn't working properly.

jackflash Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 No real complaints from any of my sites. You can always add a custom google search box and just restrict it to search you domain name(s). Thus, you can have two search engines running on each site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, you can have two search engines running on each site. My users complains. First: search engine is broken. Quick search searces only from topic subject, not message body. Advanced search doas same with default settings. Second, Google search doesnt search from member areas, does it. Yes, i know fixed in 3.2.1, but its future release, it doesnt help me at all.http://community.inv...e-words-at-all/ </whine> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always add a custom google search box and just restrict it to search you domain name(s). Thus, you can have two search engines running on each site. That's an exceptionally imperfect solution. There are any number of reasons why a Google search box is inadequate, starting with the fact that it looks ugly and the search results are non-customisable, not to mention the fact that having multiple search systems that behave in different ways degrades the user experience. But good to see at least that this issue is being fixed up for 3.2.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 There was a bug that wasn't caught in the betas. It was reported after release. We have fixed it for the next version. This is standard operating procedure in the software world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I didn't say google was perfect or a replacement - however, it's an option that we have been using for years. It's especially effective if you want to search across multiple domains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is standard operating procedure in the software world. Yes, like i sayd, i can blame myself. This was last time i use x.x.0 release in IPB. Its beta testing. It was that in 3.1.0, it is that now. Live and learn :) I didn't say google was perfect or a replacement - however, it's an option that we have been using for years. It's especially effective if you want to search across multiple domains. Yes, i use Google search for guests. Guests see Google quick search, users IPB quick search.

[img] [/img] I haven't upgraded my own website's test forum yet, but trying out some searches on here, it seems you're right - it hasn't been fixed. EDIT: Ah, I see the fix is being uploaded. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 For anyone else wondering, the fix was reverted but once we were notified of this we updated the package yesterday so that the search issue is resolved in the 3.2.1 download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
