This has happened a few times in the last days: I'm trying to use the forum search bar and use a few keywords, such as "Android HTTP", and for sure, there is one current question containing both words - but the search does not find any match. What am I doing wrong? |

My sincere apologies. When I upgraded the OSQA software back in late March, I inadvertently disabled the SQL Anywhere full-text search capabilities, which left us with the standard "
Yes, yes, yes (and faster results, too) - thanks:) BTW: Does the full-text search look for tags, too? Own answer: Apparently it does, see that separate FAQ:)

Yes. The search looks through all questions, answers, comments, titles, and tag names.

Testing indicates the forum search is doing an exact match, possibly using LIKE '%search-string%'. Search: for Android support One result which contains the exact string "for Android support": Does Ultralite 16 for Android support TCP connections? Search: for support Five results containing the exact string "for support", but NOT the message which contains "for Android support". Well, I guess it has worked differently in the past, at least a few months ago me and others had the impression the search would work really well (and fast)... Note: It seems to not really doing an exact match, at least a search for "for Android support" - as copied from your answer - does not list this FAQ as result. (Or is it possibly using a text index and does not update that immediately?)

Looks like the search got switched to use phrase search - we will investigate.

Haha - now that exact search lists this question:)
Maybe HTTP is on a stop list ;-)
It's also gone quite slow again - several minutes yesterday for a free text search, 30/40 seconds today. A few weeks ago it was pretty well instantaneous.
