And as I say, I only see two repos: update and oss, with several packages each, but only of version 2.0.4 (twenty files in total, not hundreds). However, if I search for "openoffice_org-kde" instead (why should I type such a long name when searching for "openfoffice" I dunno) then I get three entries: updates, oss, and finally, the repo I wanted (three files in total). I don't understand why typing a more precise search word (it requires me knowing the exact filename I want, and I may not know it) finds more server entries. It should be the contrary.
Neither found more, in each case the top 20 results only were shown. The results in the main repository were being ranked higher because they had more search term matches in the package name, the summary, and the files contained in the package. Hence the "openoffice" package from the build service repository was being dropped off the bottom. btw there are over 300 packages matching openoffice either in the name, filelists, or summary. I have adjusted the ranking so this case will work better http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin/index.jsp?searchTerm=openoffice will now show results from all 3 repositories. Also things like http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin/index.jsp?searchTerm=nx will work better Adding result paging would be possible, but I don't know of anyone who actually bothers to look at multiple pages of results so it's probably better to improve the ranking system where you spot problems like this. In the future with the software portal project we'll have a better metric - user rating to apply to search results. _ Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
