Hi all, I was testing the project hosting search capabilities, and it seems that the results are utterly retarded.
1. For keywords, as per the same issues seen from about 2 years ago, projects that are empty (aka nothing in svn tree) are returned - why? these projects if anything are just name holders furthermore how are they determined to be relevant?. 2. Searching for specific projects names returns "Your search - XXXXX - did not generate any results." when infact the project is called XXXXX, one of the tags is XXXXX, and the term XXXXX is used repeatedly both in the code and wiki docs 3. Multi-term search results are pitiful as well, furthermore doing the same searches as described above using google its self with the inurl being "code.google.com" actually returns the correct results, with reasonable ordering of the returned results and also code results from the trunks. My question is this, why even have a search option when it clearly doesn't work, and if you really need one, why not just use your every own google as per [3] it is far better than what there currently is, also why have tags when they are obviously not used as part of search, also why doesn't the search capabilities provide results based on what is in the svn trees of projects such as what koders does Another rant, looking at the past 10-15 messages on this list, why not provide the ability for users to reset their accounts, I mean why does it have to go through some kind of google NG? if people stuff-up and delete everything bad luck, they should have known better, why get invovled? Its pretty pitafull considering the 20% free-time google gives the people running this project + the actual number of google employees apart of this project - very pitafull indeed, makes me wonder have people at google lost interest in this or have the people running the show reached their productivity apex?
