I'm having some problems with searching in version 3.2.5, and am unsure if they're known bugs, or bits of the config I've messed up. I'm also after some clarification on some things not clearly documented.
Although I have toyed with mNoGo in the past, it was missing a few features important to us. I've recently installed 3.2.5, which supposedly has some of these features now supported, but I'm running into some problems. Firstly, indexing an ordinary site, and using the supplied search.cgi, with a minimally modified search.htm, I cannot get the "ul" search filter/restriction to work. I've followed the docs, but none of my searches are sub-searches with this pattern match (they all search the entire content each time). What's more, after submitting it, the SELECTED option is not retained - although this seems to work for other select-style fields. Secondly, I've had a stab at configuring it to support searching custom META tags, with mixed results. There seems to be little to no docs on how to go about this, but what I've tried is to add some "Section"s for each tag, preceeding the tag name with "meta.". eg; Section meta.modified 11 128 Section meta.modified.position 12 128 Section meta.modified.email 13 128 This seems to've worked to a degree; Searches will now search these fields. However, these seem to be global, and I can't figure out how to enable or disable them, or how to change the priority weights for them. The docs talk about using Section in conjunction with "wf", but it's rather confusing. Hmmm, actually, the main thing that threw me was that the example Section declarations are all on one line in the docs, but viewing the HTML source, they're on separate lines. And if that's the case, then I always need to set a wf field, with one character per Section? What if I have 50 Sections? (It would be nice to be able to assign multiple META tags to being the same section, where they are related info, or synonyms for the same field...) I think I'll have to experiment with this a bit more... -- .
