Right now we're deployed as a "secondary" search engine so you have to keep re-adding the srbackend=CirrusSearch url parameter. Lame but I have an excuse: the point of being a "secondary" search engine is to compare the results with the original. Once the index is finished building we'll make it a BetaFeature which means if you log in you can click the "beta" tab and enable it for all your searches. Sorry I didn't mention it earlier. I couldn't tell you why the old search is claiming that the page doesn't exist. It is more black boxy so I can't just issue my own queries against it with something like Sense. That has been one of the real advantages of the Elaticsearch solution because it lets me prototype new features against the production index really easily and it helps a ton with debugging. We hadn't indexed that page yet so I indexed it manually and now: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=soldiers+and+slaves&title=Special%3ASearch&fulltext=1&srbackend=CirrusSearch You can see that it is the first result and you can see that we don't highlighting "and" because it is a stop word. At some point soon I'll be switching to matching on both my plain analyzed copy and my stemmed/stop worded copy so stop words will start getting highlighted. It should look something like: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=%22soldiers+and+slaves%22&fulltext=Search&srbackend=CirrusSearch Nik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
