Search Categories
I have beta2 installed and when I run a search on my database of 10k links / categories, it doesn't return any of the categories in the search. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

No. Not that I've heard.

1) make sure there is a weight in the Category.Name field
2) repair your tables.
3) re-index your database

How do I edit the weight of the Category.Name Field?

On the Database top-menu option, select "Category" and "Properties" from the side menu and hit [GO]

I followed the steps you listed above and when I search the categories still aren't appearing. Any reasons?

Thanks.

Well, are you searching "exact" or "substring" ?

I'm searching the default, whatever that might be...

Ok, Directory searching only works when I set search_substring to on and search_indexed to No.

I have another question. Is there any way to have Links not put an extra index.html after each directory? I tried deleting the index.html in the settings, but then it wouldn't build.

Hi,

What do you mean by 'an extra index.html'?

As for searching, it sounds like the weights aren't set for some reason. You can check this by going to Database->Category->Properties and look make sure the column Name has a search weight of 3 (or some value greater then 0).

Cheers,

Alex
