Heiya and ouch,

thanks a lot Chris for making me aware of the post. You mail went directly to the spam folder and David's did not even get that far (lost in the void :( ). In future I will just monitor the archive for new posts to be sure. :|

ad 1 - highlighting) Affirmative, so one hast to access the page to see where exactly the phrase shows up.

ad 2 - ranking) I cannot tell for sure but I my impression is yes.

ad 3 - missing content) This was part of Tom's oberservation, but yes I experience that too. Even after running "rebuildtextindex.php" pages did not show up in the search - not even title matches.

I have still one wiki on MW 1.23 so I could do before and after testing to be able to provide a better picture.

So I guess it is time to move to phabricator.

Cheers and thanks a lot for your feedback.

Karsten

quote lost e-mail:
Hi,

to clarify:
1) highlighting: When searching with double quotes (phrase search) only the
title is displayed in the search results, the text snippet with the page
content snippet is not displayed. But here the same number results is found
between 1.23 and 1.27 it just lacks some snippet for the page content?
2) ranking: When searching without quotes, the snippet for the page content
is shown but the results are worse (compared to the phrase search or
compared to MW1.23?)
3) missing content: When searching wikitext tags: a lot of pages are
missing: this is not a highlighting problem here: when I searched for *<tag>
*with MW 1.23: 50 pages were found, now with MW 1.27 only 3 are found. Does
this problem apply only to tags, are there missing pages when searching
normal text?

It looks like 3 different bugs to me, could you please confirm. We'll then
be able to create some phabricator tickets to continue the discussion there.

Thanks!

Hey Karsten,
It looks like David asked a few clarifying questions in the thread that may have got lost in the mix.

Heiya,

I am still in a kinda misery concering this. It will be cool if anyone
could either confirm that this is a bug or that I have done something
wrong - ideally plus some advice.

Thanks and cheers
