Anybody else think the new search engine sucks?
I can't get any good results.
I'm trying to search "sslvpn-lax10" and it's giving me every result for lax10 or sslvpn.
Am I doing it wrong?
It shouldn't throw out things I search with.
If It gets hits with sslvpn-lax10 it should show them, if it in addition to that also showed hits for sslvpn and lax10 that might be OK.
Well, yes.
You can't search for parts of words you need to type the entire word for it to try to match anything.
You can search for parts of words using the ? and * search wildcards.
I would get that if the Search box wasn't "live"
But in a Live search box, just assume that I want "*<searchstring>*" all the time
I think it is a bit of six of one half a dozen of the other. For instance if you assume wildcards all the time then anytime you want exact terms you would have to quote every term like such.
"foo" "bar" "baz"
Confluence uses a product called Lucene for the search aspect and that is how Lucene works. The search engine isn't actually developed by Atlassian.
Hm - frankly speaking.. yes. Many users already mentioned that the new panel search got worse:
So - from our perspective the usability got worse. Furthermore the users expects that the search will finde parts of the words like *word* - I agree with Ddavin Studer.
Confluence search, and the left panel are worse than ever before. Things that were easy to find before are now difficult. Not impressed with Confluence product as whole. Leaves a lot to be desired in a corporate environment.
