For those of you who don't like the current search, please start having some discussion about what can be done about it. We have a couple of options, but for me to take the amount of time needed to explore, recommend, and implement something, Novell will need to sign off on it.
My prefered solution is 1) replace the default search with google search. It is free for open projects like us. Other options I see 2a) add useful sorting to the output of the search engine. (Reducing the total number of hits is an ugly workaround to avoid a relevant hit buried amongst irrelevant ones) 2b) add a [More...] button to the default search, which does the same search as before, but with a 'all:' prefix. This could even trigger automatically, if a search returns 0 hits. 2c) allow a fallback to articles on old-en.o.o if possible both for search engine and wiki links. 2d) ...and... aeh more, if I take some time to think about it. I'd offer to work on 2), if we can not do 1). cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de back to ascii! __/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 __/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "You are trying to use packages from project 'openSUSE:11.2'.
