Workaround

Have a long memory so as to be able to remember how you named pages some months ago...

Discussion

• The problem could be that the xapian-indexer (search/Xapian.py) don't know that underscore "_" should be used for splitting the user input into single words. And Xapian only search for stemmed words and not wildcards. Workaround is to use spaces " " and not try to masquerade those with underscore. Better solution would be to change the "splitting behaviour".... -- MarcelHäfner 2008-09-29 15:09:08

  • what if someone wants to search for is_a (and he really means is_a and not every page containing "is" and "a")?

    • that's why I never wrote a bug report this underscore is in my eye some legacy pre 1.6 problem.

  • it is not related to underscores, as MoinMoinVsMediaWiki is not found when searching for mediawiki.

    • You right; I also not found screenshot-mediawiki.png...
      But had to save the page without "trivial change"; so this seems related to my bug report about problem with trivial change and the xapian indexer... see here. seems to me more about "splitting" the words up and "Vs" is maybe to short.. don't know!

Plan

• Priority:
• Assigned to:
• Status: not a bug, this is just how indexing tokenisation and indexed search works
