Arite: Do you have the same bug as we do about the search of common words ?

[Arite]

Such as a common "short" string such as "videolan forum" (the first thing that came into my head )?

I don't think that is a bug - I think it is to do with how many results the search query returns. For example, "overlay video" returns ~1706 posts, whereas "video" would return a lot more and so is considered to be "common". "videolan client" returns 3129 posts.

OK - it appears to be to do with the % of posts which contain the word. The default is 5%, so if the word is contained in >5% of the total number of posts then the search will return that that the string is too common.

If you want to raise the common word threshold, just go into the "ACP >> Search settings" and alter the "Common word threshold:" value.

Cheers, Arite.

I had put it at 0, but it doesn't change anything. I am rebuilding the index.

[Arite]

Yes, I was thinking that what might need to be done too - presumably only the indexed words are used in the search, so just changing it to 0 will not make any difference because the non-indexed "common" words will still be ignored. How are you rebuilding the index out of interest?

Arite.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

I deleted the index, and I am rebuilding it... It is a long process, but we will have news of the process in a few hours...

[Arite]

OK, I know where you mean now (ACP >> Maintenance >> Search index).

With the common word threshold disabled it will certainly be a long process (I wonder how many "vlc"s there are ).

Arite.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Yes, but audio is usefull
I want that if I say "Change audio output", I don't have 3 ignored words...

[Arite]

That is true, the search with a 5% common word threshold is only really useful when there is something specific which you are looking for, and is worded in the correct way.

The search is much improved now (26453 posts containg "vlc" apparently ). There is more of a delay (which is inevitable), however other than that seems fine .

Cheers, Arite.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

I did index half of the posts.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Finished and it works.
