4.3 Search Changes

[webheaded]

@bfarber Do you guys have any plans to allow searching by author without a query like on 3.x?

I don't like that it's not possible to search for an exact word order with the new search. If type in "big changes", with the old engine I got all posts containing these exact term. Now I get no result, if search the same without the " I get some results but it's not satisfying. 

Now, after I converted my community to IPS the missing phrase search option is a BIG problem.  How can I get this back? Why aren't there more people complaining about this? Nobody searches for exact phrases in your communities?

You need the quotes. Just don’t use it:

The feature is still there. You just need to get used to the new way of using it.

No it's not. And yes, I know how to use the search.

I just give you a random example:

Now, search for "Database conversion" without quotes do you find this topic from the screenshot? And if yes, please tell me how you did it. Thanks.

I see. I just posted because your post seems to indicate that this was removed. It’s there. Not returning results sounds like a bug. I would report it.

I agree that it is baffling that phrase search doesn't work the way everyone expects it ought to.

Here's an example from right now on my forum:

• Searching for "doom eternal" (the game announced yesterday) returns 0 results
• Searching for doom AND eternal returns 5555 results
• Searching for "eternal doom" returns 12 results, all of which include the specific phrase, "eternall doom" (notice that "eternal" is spelled wrong)

Rebuild search index took around an hour before I switched to Elasticsearch. Just set it up today and running the rebuild for the first time I'm 50% after 3 hours.. is it meant to take longer on Elasticsearch?

[bfarber]

It's not "meant" to, but instead of inserting rows into (presumably) a local database table all of those rows have to be pushed over an HTTP API to a service (I don't know if your Elasticsearch is local or remote, but it's still an HTTP request either way). That is going to be inherently slower with regards to pushing the content into the index.

The benefits show when you in turn perform a search and it executes quicker and with better results.

It's on my server.

I'm getting the viewupdate error since setting up elasticsearch as seen here

Why can we choose only one language for analyzer? It's a huge disadvantage for multilingual communities.
