Thread: Problem with archives search
Why is this email not showing up in archives search? http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-07/msg00415.php I tried searching for its subject "Identifier case folding notes" using: http://search.postgresql.org/search?m=1&q=Identifier+case+folding+notes&l=&d=&s= but it didn't show the email. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

However, the one to fix it is out in the sea somewhere. At least, that was how it was last week. I'm not sure if anything has happened since. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

It is easier to grab it by Message-Id. OK, please remind me how to grab it by message id. Also, I want the regular URL rather than the message id URL for the TODO list (because the regular URL has a month stamp) so it is easier to just search it. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

Hmm, that seems a rather pointless requirement, but if you want that, you can go to the "thread index" from the message links at the bottom, and then reopen the message from there. That'll get you the other URL. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support

[ I fear I'm exposing my lack of HTML-fu here ]
I'd like to be able to paste a message ID into a form on my home page
and end up at the correct URL, but the only way I know to do that
involves <form method="get"> which insists on sticking "?fieldname="
in there somewhere. Is there another simple way, or do we have an
alternate portal that handles URLs of that format?

'scuse the top post. Afaik it should be indexing. I bypassed the first few messages when the problem first arose, and talked jd through the same fix the next day. Nagios hasn't complained since to my knowledge. /d On 7/14/08, Alvaro Herrera <alvherre@commandprompt.com> wrote: > Bruce Momjian wrote: >> Why is this email not showing up in archives search? >> >> http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-07/msg00415.php > > I think the search archiving is dead because of an encoding problem in > an email on the Russian list.

Is there another simple way, or do we have an > alternate portal that handles URLs of that format? Hmm, I'm not very much versed in HTML either. What I did was create a "smart bookmark" in my browser that allows me to paste the message-id and then select "Pgsql Message by ID" from a dropdown list of actions (other actions being search in Google, search.postgresql.org, Merriam-Webster, etc). Would that work for you? Another way could be to create a small program that takes http://sss.pgh.pa.us/foo?message-id=whatever@momjian.us and redirects to http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/whatever@momjian.us Maybe there are better ways. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support

You'll either have to write yourself something server side, or get some Javascript to do it for you. [... time passes ...] It ain't pretty and it ain't cross-browser compatible, but it was quick. Tested in Ubuntu, FF3. I tried to annotate it so you can personalize it, whatevs. Enjoy, Kevin

You can now use this URL: http://archives.postgresql.org/message-by-id.php?q=SOME-MESSAGE-ID -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
