Hello,
with increasing number of packages, projects and texts, the search engine gets more and more unusable.
For example to find an updated perl, I would enter perl in the search engine. The result is an Timeout error. Also searching for ocaml results in lots of entries.
I cannot reproduce the timeout right now, but it takes *very* long for the search to complete. (81 pages ;)
Some suggestions: - Better sorting: - First projects, which match the name exactly. - Second projects, which match name - Third projects, which have name in description. - Allow more control: - Sorting - Matching - Exclusions - ... (whatever)
Yes, that sounds good.
- Cache database/results --> There should be no timeout for "perl" at all.
Indeed, that would be nice.
- Allow different display forms: - Only name - Name+short description - Full - Allow inclusion/exclusion of: - home projects - non-published projects - linked projects - linked projects, which have local changes / have no changes - aggregated projects
Also good ideas. Thank you for the suggestions! Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees. Please be respectful!" SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development
