[opensuse] Archive Search Problem
I just had a weird experience searching the opensuse archive. I selected the month of November, selected "By Thread", and did a search on "smbfs". The result list came back with 555 results. If I look at the dates on the postings, I see dates like 23-Dec-2002, 03-Aug-2000, etc. In other words, it looks like it's searching the entire archive instead of just the month I'm targeting. Anyone else noticed this behavior? Greg Wallace -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes. Furthermore, at least some times it is unable to find items in the current month. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

What exactly did you specify? Can you send the parameters for the search.cgi you had? It works for me here with query=smbfs list=opensuse xtime=2006%2F11%2F01 ytime=2006%2F11%2F30 This returns 2 messages fromt he thread "Problems with CIFS and fstab" ( /opensuse/2006-11/msg00264.html and /opensuse/2006-11/msg00259.html) Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, http://hennevogel.de "To die.

I use the search entry, no parameters, just text to search. Like this:
Search indexes are not live. There are 3 indexes 1. Full index of all lists * Searched if you dont specify the lists parameter * Build every sunday at 03:00 GMT 2. Full index for specific lists * Searched if you specify the lists parameter * Build everyday at 00:00 GMT 2. Index for specific lists of the messages in the current month * Searched if you specify the lists parameter * Build every 5 minutes Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, http://hennevogel.de "To die.

But I assume that if simply enter a text to be searched in the input field at the bottom of the page http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-01/ it should use option 2 or 3 of the above (I have no idea which one it uses, there are no options). But it is unable to find a specific message of this month. Was. For your info, it works now, but it did not work this morning nor yesterday - and the message in question is from Monday. Reading your post above, I see you say that: |> 1. Full index of all lists |> * Searched if you dont specify the lists parameter |> * Build every sunday at 03:00 GMT So, if I «don't specify the list parameter» it searches on all lists, on an index built on Sunday. That would explain why the message was not found, as it was written on last Monday. However, I don't see in the standard search where to specify which list to search. I'm not using the advanced search, but I'm using the search input at the bottom of one specific list of one specific month: there are no options at all to select. It should not search the whole archive! In fact, the comment says «Search this list». But as it works now and it didn't some hours ago, I suspect you have touched something ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Yes. As soon as you are in a list root directory it searches only this list.
It should not search the whole archive! In fact, the comment says «Search this list».
It does not. See above.

I triggered a index rebuild for opensuse yes. -- Henne Vogelsang, http://hennevogel.de "To die. In the rain. Alone." Ernest Hemingway -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Here's the step by step of what I did (I just tried it again with the same results). 1) Go to lists.opensuse.org 2) Select the "opensuse" link 3) Select November 2006 "By Thread" 4) Enter "smbfs" and click the search magnifying glass You'll see that you get 562 results, with dates that are all over the map.

True. The default search is in all messages of the list. If you want to limit it to a date range you have to use the advanced options. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, http://hennevogel.de "To die.

On the search result page there is a link "Advanced Options" next to the input field. Or go to http://lists.opensuse.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi?advanced=yes Should i make a button link next to the search input field on the general pages?

Ok. I see it now

I think that would be a good idea. I guess there are cases where someone would want to do a full search first, then narrow things down, but I would think that would not be the norm.
