It's not unusual that the Search Suggest and the default search page provide different search results. The search suggest is very targeted as it provides results from a list of configured sources that look into specific fields (e.g. Document Content source looks only in the document content, Attachment Names looks only in the attachment names, etc.). The default search page on the other hand provides generic results because it looks everywhere. It's normal that the same result gets a different score when you search only in a specific field than when you search on all fields.
Moreover, the search suggest does (in XWiki 5.4) prefix matching by default. It appends * (star) automatically at the end of the typed text. The default search page doesn't do that. So there are two options: (1) type * at the end of your search text (i.e. explicitly tell the search engine that you want prefix matching) (2) modify the default search page to append the * automatically (but note that the search query supports a special query syntax which you can break by appending * blindly; the special query syntax is used by advanced users) Hope this helps, Marius On Thu, Apr 3, 2014 at 12:56 PM, Daniel Ebanja <[email protected]> wrote: > The actual problem is the result in the result in the standard search page. > Am 03.04.2014 11:20 schrieb "Marius Dumitru Florea" < > [email protected]>: > >> Which search engine are you using?
