Strange search result
Hi!
I've searched for the project LiVES and didn't saw it, so I tried creating it. The problem is that when I attempted to, the form said it already exits.
I searched again and realised that searching for LiVES makes this project appear on the third page.
Is this normal?
Hi Jonan,
Yes, this is a strange result, and while I (sort of) understand the cause I'm not quite sure how to fix it.
The problem is that we use a stemming full-text search indexer. When you enter LiVES
in the search box, our searcher reduces this to the base English word live
and returns all projects that match live
.
The projects are then sorted by some messy heuristics that include popularity and relevance
. The rule I typed the project name exactly
is unfortunately not one of the sort heuristics :-).
Most of the time this ball of duct tape and bailing wire gives pretty good results; I don't think we can fix this quickly but I'll put it on our bug list.
Thanks,
Robin
