Search in Knowledgeroot

[Martin1974]

Hello,

first of all I'd like to thank you for the very useful program.

I have a question about the search function in Knowledgeroot.

Is there any way to search with the "AND" operator?

I looked in the forum and found the "Ticket #126" which should have enabled "search with and and or"

But when I write more terms, the search engine always seems to use "OR" between them (I upgraded to 9.9.5 today, but nothing changed, have tryied "AND", "&", "+word" but without success).

I already transferred pretty much content into the database but now it got bloated, and without a strong search function, gets harder and harder

Thanks for your help

Hi,

at the moment you could search for a hole string with:
"this is my string"
So you only need to put it in " chars.

But i think it could be no solution for your problem. Especial if you want to search exact for two words.
Right?

i created a ticket for that:

Hi again,

i think i will modify the search to use google syntax.
So this will be fixed in the next minor version 0.9.9.6.

Hi Frank,

thank you very much for the quick response. It would be awesome to have a google-like search syntax.

Anyway, I'd like to contribute somehow to the work.

Is there a donate account, amazon wish list or something similar where I could express my happiness with Knowledgeroot?

If you like, you can contact me off the list (martin1974@gawab.com).

Best regards

Hi Martin,

we have no donate account or amazon wish list at the moment.
I would prefer if you donate to a relief organization. I think we have people on earth that need more help than this project.
If you want to spend in some technical institution you could donate for debian

But thanks for this post and that you want donate for this project!

I hope that i could start with the search this evening. I will let you know

Hi,

short feedback about the status:
I have created a "google search parser". At the moment i have some trouble with the or conditions but i see the finish

So what will be possible i put this to knowledgeroot:
You could search for:
1. word1 word2
will search for word1 AND word2
2. word1 OR word2
will search for word1 OR word2
3. word1 word2 word3 OR word4 OR word5
will search for word1 AND word2 AND for one of word3 OR word4 OR word5
4. "word1 word2"
will search exactly for 'word1 word2'
5. word1 word2 -word3 -word4
will search for word1 AND word2 AND NOT for word3 AND NOT for word4
6. word1 word2 word3 OR word4 -word5 -"word6 word7"
will search for word1 AND word2 AND NOT word5 AND NOT 'word6 word7' AND for one of these: word3 OR word4

I hope this will help for search.
Feedback is welcome.

regards,
Frank

Hi,

this feature is added in trunk. I will not make a backport to actual stable version because the changes are to big for such a minor release.

Hi,

no problem

I am working on version 1.0. I think the trunk version is not easy to setup now. But i will update the demo system as soon as it is runable
