Result

Your search query "Helpon -Administration" didn't return any results. Please change some terms and refer to HelpOnSearching for more information.

same in AdvancedSearch dialog (only on english FindPage)

This may be not related to the not term, but rather to xapian only searching full words.

I tried:

• foo bar -> page with ... foo ... bar gets found.

• foo -bar -> that page gets not found.

Discussion

• Maybe it is because the wiki still use an older xapian search engine/core (0.9..), out is now the 1.0.4 Version. http://svn.xapian.org/tags/1.0.4/xapian-core/NEWS?view=co -- MarcelHäfner 2007-11-05 22:01:42

  • Is this just guessing or why do you think a newer version fixes it? -- ThomasWaldmann 2007-11-05 22:55:20

    Just guessing, due the note in the changelog = + Fix handling of `site:example.org -term'.. Well I'm trying now to setup a moin 1.6b with the latest beta on my home server (fedora). So I will see more cleary. -- MarcelHäfner 2007-11-06 11:40:01

  Well, I setup now a Moin1.6b without Xapian Search (DEAKTIVIERT) and an input like  help page  works; a search with  help page -creation  shows the same "bug" (see here. so it doesn't seems to be a xapian bug, right?. -- MarcelHäfner 2007-11-06 13:24:57

  • Now I also installed the Xapian Search Engine Release 1.0.2 and it's funny, but the "-" not operator works. Example  pages  shows up with 2 hits.  pages -pagesize  shows only one hit. you may try it by yourself under http://home.heavy.ch:8080/ -- MarcelHäfner 2007-11-06 20:53:30

    Indeed but it looks like AdvancedSearch did not get the same result -- ReimarBauer 2007-11-06 21:49:58
