Search issue - 0% relevance reported

[John Gimber]

SMF Version: SMF 1.1 RC3
Hi,

not sure if I'm missing something or not.

I've upgraded my forum from 1.0.7 to 1.1RC3 (very nice work - love the changes).

However, when I do a search I seem to be returning lots of results, all with a relevane of 0%.  I've tried creating a full text index and using it, but still no joy.

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or does the search relevance thing not quite work?  (I see you have relevance values on your site, so it may be a config issue in mine).

Yes, I am also seeing this problem. and I tried it with every theme I have installed. I get same results. The search works its just displaying the incorrect relevance value

Just noticed this on my site as well. Is this an "officially recognized" bug?

[baladeva]

1.1 RC3 has problems with search issues. I'm sure developers are working on it.

Can you try disabling the spell checker feature?

Can you try disabling the spell checker feature?

Was this in reference to the search relevance problem? If so, it didn't change anything... still 0%.

[devnet]

I can also verify this is present.

Upon disabling of spell checker, the problem still is present.

Any official response on this?

Hello?  Why is the search % working on this site, but not forum.joomla.org for example.

When i search your site, i was able to get a relevance percentage

Hum,

I just tried going to the search page at http://www.leroc-in-bristol.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=search

entering "shoes" and clicking on the <search> button.

Everything still had a 0% rating.

Also tried it in different themes and logged in and logged out.

How did you do your search?

John.

Have you created an search index?

[John Gimber]

Yes:

Space used by forum messages in the database: 4459.86 KB
Space used to index messages in the database: 2789 KB

Search index: Fulltext index
Index: already created [remove fulltext index]
Size: 2789 KB

Force the use of a search index [true]
Match whole words only [false]

I do a search for "shoes" and get this:

[J. Williams]

It might be because its a fulltext index, so revelance targets the whole word and sees if its in the title; but since it ain't, it says 0%

I just did a search on that site and get 0%

[kai920]

0% on that site as well

The version I was running prior (1.08) did not have this issue. I don't remember needing to full text index or anything. It just worked.   so not sure whats exactly wrong I am no expert on this matter.  Any one know how to correct this?


Should this thread be moved or reported in the bug report section? It seems I am not the only one having this issue.

[astounding]

Any updates on fixing this as I'm also getting it on my forum?...

Thanks.

In my
forum at
www.overunity.com
I also have a search problem.

I am still running
1.1 RC2

and when I search for somthing,
I just get only the last message,
where 2 words I search for were in.

It does not find the other messages,
where the 2 words were in.

I have tried alrady all possible
settings with the induvidial  index
and normal index and without index,
but it does not help.
I have set it now this way:

Search method
Space used by forum messages in the database: 14,243 KB
Space used to index messages in the database: 7,304 KB


Search index:
Why create a search index?  No index 
  Fulltext index
Index: already created [remove fulltext index]
Size: 7,304 KB 
  Custom index
Index: doesn't currently exist [create custom index] 
Force the use of a search index:  x
Match whole words only: 


So when I search for the words:

multi strand

it only finds one message, but there are really
a few messages with these 2 words in there...

So what could this be ?

Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
