Looks good to me too. Is it trunk ready already?

Hey guys,
I thought the versions could do with a come back:

What do you think? :)

Hey guys,
I've done some more work this weekend on the search results.


http://skitch.com/jdumay/6cc2/archiva-search-results-w-no-duplicates-repository-id-or-versions-displayed

So far:
* There are no duplicate entries.
* I've removed the link to the repository the result was from (otherwise we might have two copies of "commons-lang" appearing in the results but from different repositories. IMO, this information can be found on the artifact
info page).
* Removed the versions available.
* Clicking on the artifact link now takes you to browse the versions.

Thoughts?

I visited James today and we came up with this list of things to fix a
bit more urgently (I'll be putting them in JIRA later).

Already changed:
* remove dependencies/filecontent from the quick search - must not search
for dependencies on commons-lang
* change the default search to AND instead of OR

Still to look at:
- [ ] improve the search results page
    - [ ] remove metadata files
    - [ ] merge versions in search results
    - [ ] for snapshots, just show SNAPSHOT, not timestamps
- [ ] show hits in the results (this may not be possible or needed
with better results, however)

- [ ] existing JIRA complaints
    - [ ] MRM-732 (tokenizing)
    - [ ] MRM-495 (weighting)
    - [ ] MRM-609 (windows bug - may be fixed)
    - [ ] MRM-933 (hit count, pagination completely busted)

- [ ] advanced search
- [ ] improve appearance and flexibility, maybe change to "add term"
buttons on the default search
    - [ ] class/package search is still flaky
- [ ] might be the analyzer rules, etc. for splitting on '.'

- [ ] browse improvements
- [ ] artifact version list should show basic shared project information
rather than having to drill into one version
- [ ] snapshot should go to a page that shows a list of versions
      (go to latest, but list previous snapshots)

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Brett

Hey guys,
As mentioned on IRC we all agreed that our search feature is a little
suboptimal.

I would like to propose the following improvements:
* Search should be more like mvnrepository.com (showing codebase growth
etc).
* We should figure out a way of using up stream repository indexes to
improve search results.
* Advanced search needs a good rethink - we should probably use a filter approach so that you could do bytecode: search results that include free
text search.
* UI improvements so that the user experience feels more intuitive.

Discuss!
