Search module in 1.0b3
Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2006 11:54 am
I have some trouble with the way the search module works in 1.0b3. It looks like it is not possible to do a wildcard-search? If I only type part of a word to be found, I don't get any results. That's not the way I expect a search to work, as words that are delimited by a hyphon (e.g. hockey-stadium) can only be found by exact matching, neither first, nor second part is enough to get a hit.
Secondly the search seems not to be able to cope with html-encoded special chars, like german ä - ä, ö - ö and so on. If I have a word like Müsli I will find "M" and "sli" in the search index. I think that should be improved, too.
The way pisearch works is much more convenient (and google-like), but using an "internal" search module rather than an external one would be much easier.
What do you think?
