Can we get search fixed on the Devnet site please?

"Exact phrase" and "All words" stopped working some time ago. No matter what you search for it always comes up empty.

I'm referring to the "global" search found here: https://devnet.kentico.com/search

Have you reported this to Kentico Support? If not, that would be the place to start as they don't always monitor the forums.

Hey guys,

You can give it a try now. It should be up and running.

By the way, is there anything you feel it should be improved in the devnet search? If you could give us some hints it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Ondrej

Thanks Ondrej.

It would be nice to have some sort of advanced query operators to use so we could exclude words and phrases, or use some kind of boolean operators, i.e.:

 ("this phrase" | "or that phrase") + "and another phrase" !but_not_this_term

Beyond search, though, a really annoying thing is that there's no way (that I've found, at least) to find/manage MY content. I have no way of seeing a list of all Questions & Answers I've asked, answered, or contributed to, for example. And there's no way to turn off the notification emails as far as I can tell. Plus, I'd like to be able to get notification emails about things that I haven't actually participated in. Maybe I'm interested in the discussion but have nothing relevant to say at the moment.

This goes for "Articles", as well. I've posted comments on Articles and I have no idea how to tell if they've been responded to without actually revisiting the article periodically. That's assuming my comment has even been "approved" -- which I have no way of really knowing. I remember once I commented on an article asking a question, and I kept checking back and it seemed my comment never got approved (or at least I wasn't seeing it show up). Eventually I just stopped checking back. I forget which article it even was at this point. And I can't even just search for my name because I guess comments aren't being included in the content when I search articles.

Ondrej,

I've mentioned the same comments as Joe to your group as well. Finding all "my" posts or contributions would be very helpful! I'd also LOVE a subscription feature. I don't contribute to every post but there are some I'm very interested in finding our more info on but like Joe, have to manually go back and find it.

Hi guys, we're already working on user profiles with notification system as well. Now we're in the phase of prototyping, could we possibly contact you in the near future in order to validate our design?

Hi Joe,

there is a possibility to use lucene search syntax - with logical operators and stuff.

See the reference here: https://lucene.apache.org/core/2_9_4/queryparsersyntax.html

Just give it a try, hopefully it will give you more relevant results.

Cheers

Is it just me, or is the enter key not working now on the search form?

Joe, spot on!

The enter key stroke has been fixed :-)

Thanks
