How exactly does "Enable Full Text Search" work?


Using Jamroom

Strumelia:
Thanks, sounds like generally a good thing then.
Do the words AND and OR need to be capitalized?
Does it also recognize plus and minus, as in searching for "sheet music -guitar" or "teacher +fingerstyle" ?

I have another search question, but will post it in a new thread.

no - I don't think they need to be capitalized, and yes - it supports the + and - indicators. Note too that you can enclose the search term in quotes for an exact match.

Just to follow up, the code must JUST be:

fr-CA

NOT:

French (fr-CA)

How exactly does "Enable Full Text Search" work?


Using Jamroom

Strumelia:
The help tip for this checkbox in the Search module says:
"Enabling this option will activate a special Full Text search index for modules - a Full Text search can do a better job of finding relevant items when performing a search of textual data."

Sounds swell!- but I'm not sure how this actually translates into reality. I'm not seeing or pinpointing the difference when i'm testing it both on and off.

Can someone give a couple of simple 'real world' scenarios of how searches would work when this "Full text search" option is enabled vs. disabled? That'd help me to understand whether I should have in on or off. Thanks!

So the full text index enables what are called "boolean" searches, which allows you to use AND and OR in your search conditions - i.e.

red AND blue

would find entries that had BOTH "red" and "blue" in them. That will not work with the default search as it would look explicitly for "red AND blue".

It also enables a "rating" on the matched search terms - i.e. it checks on the "density" of the keywords you are looking for, so ideally the most relevant matches are at the very top.

Hope this helps!

"Full Text Indexing" never finishes in my Search module....


Using Jamroom

You can ignore this - this looks like it is being caused by the Cloud Queue Client module - it won't impact how anything works, but I will get it fixed so it no longer is coming out like that.

Hope this helps!

possible seemless order by created bug?


Using Jamroom

That's the list template - it does not pagination, so I don't believe the issue is there.

Is this the Seamless call you are using?

{jrSeamless_list modules="jrFlickr,jrGallery" pagebreak="16" pager=true order_by="_created numerical_desc" template="newest_galleries.tpl" page=$_post.p}

Thanks!

Sharethis not graving audio images to facebook timeline


Design and Skin Customization

I think the problem here is that even though ShareThis is enabled in the profile, you've disabled sharing audio, so the OG tags are not being added to the audio page. Let me see if I can update the sharing template so it will still work even if you're not allowing the audio player to be shared.

possible seemless order by created bug?


Using Jamroom

soaringeagle:
yup no effect

its not taking the _created_by order in seemless

It is not _created_by - it is just _created - i.e.

order_by="_created desc"

Let me know if that helps.

A Private Family Tree Site


Genosis

xsaintzx:
Hi Brian, thanks for your reply.
I'll try to use Family tree maker from Ancestry instead.

So once added researcher user account, they will be able to expand the tree via the website right? And admin too? Without repeat the import export process again.

Excatly...

Quote:
Or could we build the tree from scratch on the website without importing GEDCOM file?

Yep - you can start "fresh" without a GEDCOM - that's no problem.

Quote:
Can I hire someone from your team to maybe style and design the site for me once it's uploaded?
Thanks!

We can help - contact us at support [at] jamroom [dot] net at any time.

Hope this helps!
