No it doesn't, at least for me. > eg: Go to the Index page, type in "freebsd" (without the quotes). > Make sure Main is select in the ComboBox, and click Go. As someone else said somewhere: The index page lists page titles, page titles are equal to the pages names. > What's the point of having a search or index when it always spits out garbage! I typed "Freebsd" into the "wiki search" input box and it returned two 100% hits and, as you're asking for IIUC, it searches the pages text and returns hits from that search. Look: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Special:Search?search=freebsd&go=Go I van't see what's wrong with that. I agree, I did expect to see the page "FreeBSD" in the index list. But there is a trick regarding case sensitivity. If you type in "Free*" instead of "Freebsd" - note, many if not all user of free BSD write it's name "FreeBSD", not "freebsd" - you get what you are searching for. Same holds true for tiopf, that can be named "TiOPF", tiopf", tiOPF" as main cases. Conclusion: - Index search work fine. - Remember the index is case sensitive and use it smart. - Maybe the search logic could be changed. If one knows it's working OK, but since it is unusual I have stepped into this pit multiple times myself. - Beofre changing the wiki it's easier to use google or another good public search engine similarly capable. There cpould be a link on the wikis main page for doing so.
