Thread: Odd website behavior...

When searching techdocs.postgresql.org, if you type in "transaction", it
says, "Your original search: transation returned zero results.  The
alternate spelling: transaction returned the results below."  For some
reason it is changing the spelling and then reverting back to the
original.

Just a heads up that something funky is going on.  ;)

Works for me:
http://www.postgresql.org/search.cgi?q=transaction&m=all&wm=wrd&ul=http%
3A%2F%2Ftechdocs.postgresql.org%2F&wf=222210

Or do you mean the old Google one?

Regards, Dave.

I'm going to guess and say, "yes".  Since the "old google one" is the
only search mechanism that I've seen.  I'm surprised to read that there
is another mechanism.  Clicking on "search" takes you to the only search
option that I've seen, which is the "search by google" one.

http://www.postgresql.org -> Techdocs -> http://techdocs.postgresql.org/
= google search.  Clicking on the "Searchable Docs" takes you back to
the same page (google search).

Perhaps the "old google one" can be done away with as your results page
has a nice look and certainly was much more effective.

Yes, it;s only a few days old - part of the ongoing website overhaul.

Justin? We can write a techdocs styled search/results page quite easily
if you like that will use the same database, and filter to techdocs only
if that's preferred. It would be nice to get rid of Google.

Agreed.  It would be better to have Dave improved search engine do it.

Are you guys fine with ripping out the Google one and putting the new 
one in?  There is no chance I'm going to have time to do much in the way 
of assisting at the moment.

:(
