E:strip search eccentricities

·

I think it might be helpful to document some of the weirdness that I experience with (e:strip)'s search function sometimes.

When I search for the term "wok":
  • This post about my Amazon disenchantment while buying woks doesn't: @tinypliny #54693 (Though, wok is prominently in the title of the post and also mentioned in the body.)

Odd, don't you think?

    My guess is there is something wrong with the index. I will look into it when I get a chance. The way search works, it does not actually look at every single word, it indexes the works in another place and then uses the indexes. If the index for that entry is corrupt then wok might not show up.

    So I have a higher number of corruptions than others? I wonder if this has something to do my compulsive and repetitive editing behaviour. I often pull up old articles and edit them just because I feel like it. Maybe the indexing can handle only a fixed number of versions and gets corrupted with a higher number... I always wonder about how versions work on estrip and i2. Newer image versions get a number hash appended but what about newer versions of posts?

    The Last time I used search it went by words used in the Journals not by the topic or the tittle.... So if you are trying to find a certain post it can be hard.... I thought there was a way to check by person also but you would have to remember who wrote it?
