Topic on Talk:Search/Old

lsearchd finds 19 hits for "wholly-owned", while CirrusSearch finds about 6,000 hits for "wholly-owned", almost all of them being "wholly owned", which is correct. How will mishyphenations be found and corrected?

Chris the speller: "wholly-owned"~0 should show this, but it seems it doesn't. This means that it doesn't have that exact combination in it's history, which might be due to the index not being complete yet.

TheDJ: I've checked the lsearchd results, and any results there are out of date and thus no longer shown in the up to date cirrus search or the hits are in urls (which are excluded from the cirrus indexing I vaguely remember).

There is documentation on the possibilities of Cirrus here: mw:Help:CirrusSearch

TheDJ: Thanks, but I am already familiar with the possibilities and the state of the index. I have used CirrusSearch extensively. What I should have asked is "How will mishyphenations be found and corrected, now that the developers are determined to foist a search engine upon us that is bereft of function?"

It seems that 'upvoting' results causes the exact match to drop below the fold. I have reported this as: bugzilla:70905

The real fix for this problem will come in response to bugzilla:70950, not 70905.
