Search function on this site January 15, 2021, 05:43:22 pm Got a few questions about the search function in Elk.1/ Is this site running the built-in Elk search?2/ If yes to 1, can you list the settings in use here?3/ If no to 1, what is it using (ie: Sphinx, something else)?Reason I'm asking is that search is near to useless on some sites, so I'm wondering how to fix it. ETA: Supplementary question - are there any known bugs in the search that have been fixed since 1.09.?
Re: Search function on this site Reply #1 – January 15, 2021, 09:17:06 pm It does not use Sphinx, I have some sites that do and it seems to work well, but its still no google It uses the custom search index option, can't remember which index but it should be the largest size. In 2.0 we should really consider removing the other custom index sizes since I don't want to answer the question of why one is better then the other and most of the reason why there are options is more due to dated server/hardware limitations that no longer apply.Weights are Relative search weight for number of matching messages within a topic: 30Relative search weight for age of last matching message: 25Relative search weight for topic length: 20Relative search weight for a matching subject: 15Relative search weight for a first message match: 10Relative search weight for a pinned topic: 0Relative search weight for topic likes: 0Fixes since 1.0.9 -> https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/compare/v1.0.9...v1.0.10 I did not see any changes to the standard or custom search API's
