Limit search??

[mads]

Hi

Is it possible to limit the search area.. so you don't search though all the pages??

We have reach a point where we have a lot of pages and many of them have the same words but in different areas.
So it's ignoring that when you search you get a lot of pages that you know you not are looking for.

So it would be cool if I could select only to search though one page and it's sub-pages??

Hope you understand

mads - It should be possible to search based on the "path" of a page. For example: Search for pages containing under the path /TechDocs


contents:DekiWiki path:TechDocs/*

See this link for more info on the lucene query syntax.

I can't get it to work?? But I'm still using Goosberry++, does this only work in Hayes??

[SteveB]

Yes, this only works in Hayes. Sorry.

Also, minor correction to the query, it should read:

content:DekiWiki path:TechDocs/*

Here is an Example:

My tree looks like this:

-CCI Wiki
-System Manager

If I search for: contents:faq path:System Manager

Then it searches for "faq" in all pages with System or Manager in the title.

I have tried the following with not luck:

contents:faq path:"System Manager"
contents:faq path:./System Manager
contents:faq path:/System Manager
contents:faq path:"/System Manager"
contents:faq path:System Manager/*
contents:faq path:"System Manager/*"

contents:faq path:"CCI WIKI/System Manager"
contents:faq path:./CCI WIKI/System Manager
contents:faq path:CCI WIKI/System Manager
contents:faq path:"CCI WIKI/System Manager"
contents:faq path:CCI WIKI/System Manager/*
contents:faq path:"CCI WIKI/System Manager/*

I may have tried some more, but nothing seems to work right??

content:DekiWiki path:TechDocs/*

Okay... do you have any plans to make an advance search option, so you don't have to write long codes make a simpel search??

[SteveB]

Yes, we do, but it's admintingly not a high priority item.

[mads]

Yes, we do, but it's admintingly not a high priority item.

Okay.. just nice to know that you are planing to implement it, then I can tell my users that :)

Looking forward to it, but first I will enjoy Hayes.. :)

[mads]

I'm just not able to get these search functions working in Hayes??

It's a key function now, because a simple search will return way to many pages... so our users get tired of looking for things in the search results..

Can someone please help me, how do a user search only beneath a specific pages area??

[SteveB]

Confirmed. It's not working as described. Will have to take a look under the covers of Lucene and see how we can fix that. :(

[mads]

Ohhh... not good... do you know how long it will take before you have a patch or new version out with a fix??
Hope it's easy to fix and you don't have to re-program to much.. :confused:

[SteveB]

One bug appears to be that we're tokenizing the path value, which messes things up. It should hopefully be an easy fix. Sorry for the inconvenience it is causing.

[mads]

Ok.. sounds good... our users will be glad to hear that :)
