Search bar Firefox 24.0 space issue #45
Comments
This appears to manifest in different ways and have numerous possibly related issues. It's an issue in IE11, too (make a search provider here. Here are a few examples I expect to take me to the page labeled "SPL/Exceptions". FF 26.0:
IE11:
It seems that various special characters are not interpreted as expected by the fuzzy search, in addition to any encoding issues there may also be in place. I would expect:
I have no personal experience with longest common subsequence matching but I can see the rationale in ignoring spaces. However, it seems to me that a better approach would be to ignore occurrences of spaces in the search term instead of simply stripping them during input. |
Thanks for the bug report. I'll look into this over the week-end. @commonquail The "type" pages such as SPL/Exceptions aren't part of the search index (the doc also needs to be enabled for results to appear). Thanks for investigating the issue, though; this is very useful. |
Does that mean they can't be or aren't supposed to be, either? When I look up, say, exceptions, it's usually because I don't know if the core library includes a fitting one already or which one that would be. In that situation I can't search directly for a listing of exceptions but instead have to rely on the tl;dr: I'd really like that but I can understand if it isn't possible. Addendum: A possible alternative interpretation of space using the provider or the query parameter could be to delimit a search scope. |
@commonquail I've opened a new issue for adding the type pages to the search index. I understand the use case but this isn't straightforward to implement. You can already use a space the scope your search: http://devdocs.io/#q=css%20color |
Hard to explain, but I tried searching "409 Conflict" which resolves to "409+Conflict" and doesn't return any results... If I search "409" the expected result appears.. also if I put "409%20conflict".. Seems to be an encoding issue.
