	A bug of the search function Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

It seems that the search function doesn't search within an edited text

I think he means text that has been added throguh editing the message.

Yes. It seems that an original text is found and an added one isn't found.

An example: <A HREF=/forums/"/forums/Forum1/HTML/001910.html">Civ2-General/Help: The Great Library: a hierarchical structure</A>

Search: Match all search terms above, Search For Exact Name (case sensitive), Entire Message, Any date:

The Great Library: a hierarchical structure SlowThinker March 29, 2001 Civ2-General/Help

The text comes from the starting post.
<hr>
But I have more bad examples and only one where added text was found: it was in the Apolyton/Community.

LOL!
I tried to search for a deleted text: the system successfully found it!

There was "abcdef" in place of "deleted": http://www.apolyton.net/forums/Forum1/HTML/001910.html

it's not a bug, it's just a lack of a feature

It causes problems if we try to put "keywords" to threads:
"The Great Library: a hierarchical structure" thread

i believe the problem can be overcome whenever the search index is rebuild(which is done every now and then)


anyway, we'll build a big database system for the great library one day, wont we?

:-) I have understood it now.
How often is the search index rebuilt?

slowthinker. You really love thinking heirarchies. Have you read the Pyramid Principle?

GP, what's that?

	Enter the AD-FREE zone

It is a book by Barbara Minto. You may be able to get it in the national library. It has several translations. Basically a book that emphasisizes the importance of grouping thoughts in heirarchies to form better arguments.

While you're talking about the search feature, there's one thing that would be really useful for me. Right now search only ids the thread... Could it instead send you to the correct message with the hit? This really becomes an issue with our Clash of Civs design discussion 3-4 page threads -- you have to go by hand to figure out where the right date is before searching for the text. It'd be great if the link from the search could put you right at the correct post!

I know this may be a UBB problem rather than Apolyton-specific. If its UBB that's to blame, can you request that the link from a search take you to the top of the relevant post?

Thanks,

Mark
