Re: [Andy] Strange search results / problems In reply to

Hello everyone!

I would not want to be boring, but from my perspective, this is a big problem for me because the site is live and searches give inaccurate search results to users.

Is there any chance that someone from GT can explain the reasons for these problems?

Once again, many thanks in advance.

Hi,

It may be worth emailing them to see if they've had a chance to look at it (just to give a nudge Whistle

)

Hi again Andy!

I've already thought about it, but I'll wait one more day to see if anyone from GT send a reply to this topic here ...

Sorry, I'm been really busy with a project at the moment and haven't had a chance to look into this one.

Re: [brewt] Strange search results / problems In reply to

Hi everyone!

As I already said, I would not want to be boring, but to me this is very important.

What should I do - is this my fault or problem lies in something else?

Once again, thanks.

Is this the same problem:

and

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/..._checkboxes_P263919/

?

I'm totally confused ...

Hello again Andy!

I'm not at all happy that the problem exists, but I'm glad that I'm not alone Crazy

If that is the case, GT should solve this somehow ..

Re: [brewt] Strange search results / problems In reply to

Please accept my apologies - my mistake:

It's not:

Quote:

+use GT::SQL::Display::HTML;

it's:

Quote:

use GT::SQL::Display::HTML;

(without "+")

I made a short test and it seems that everything is OK

Re: [brewt] Strange search results / problems In reply to

I'm sorry, but this nightmare is not over ...

Both in admin and on the user side I get incorrect results when I'm looking for only one variable:

For example, I'm looking in "Additional_Data" field for Elevator (6) and I get 253 results out of 350 possible which is not true ...

Something is definitely wrong and I humbly ask that GT team closely check what's the problem here.

Many thanks in advance.

Re: [katakombe] Strange search results / problems In reply to

If the field is a number, that search isn't going to be a good one since the search is a LIKE search.

Re: [katakombe] Strange search results / problems In reply to

The final solution:

For all those who have, or will have the same problems as me, I would like to make a modest contribution and describe the solution:

If you use:

Code:
Column Type: CHAR 
Column Index: None 
Form Type: CHECKBOX or MULTI-SELECT

and for all links:

Code:
Indexing Scheme: INTERNAL

then for:

Code:
Form Names

you can use a maximum of 10 unique values as numbers (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)

If you need more than 10 values (up to a maximum of 26), you can use the alphabet (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z) as I did.

(For a maximum of 36 combinations you can use both letters and numbers)

For "Search Weight" field you must assign a value of at least 1 and you have to do "Rebuild Search".

Your entire database will not work properly unless you install Adrian's patch:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...ems_P314942/#p314942

So much of me. I sincerely hope that everyone will benefit from this. Good luck!

Or you can go 2 characters and not use any single character values (eg. 10, 11, or aa, ab, ac, etc).

Re: [brewt] Strange search results / problems In reply to

Hi,

It seems there is still a problem. An example listing has checkboxes B I and O selected. Thats all fine.

The SQL query being run at its simplest, is:

Code:
GT::SQL::Driver::MYSQL::sth (15093): Executing query: SELECT * FROM glinks_Links WHERE (ExpiryDate >= 1375945671 AND isValidated = 'Yes' AND Additional_Data LIKE '%B 
    %I 
    %O%') LIMIT 0, 10

...but the DB, its stored as:

A
K
L
M
N
O
Q
R
B
E
G
H
I

...and because they don't match that order, it can't find them. It seems like for some reason GT::SQL isn't saving the checkbox info in the correct order.
