Wiki Search - New and Improved!

[Kralik]

I moved the bottom buttons around a bit and added the search option. I'll need to see if there is a way to excluded the indexes, because they tend to skew the results. But -- it works!

mmm...technically.  Dem results...that's going to need some work before it's anywhere near what could be called usable.  Still. It gets more than google does...

I never claimed it would be a good search. It would have to be able to search through fields and run off of a central database... which I decided not to bother with when I realized that Zorbec's does it TONS better than I ever would.

I've made some significant improvements on the search. A summary:

1) The search now shows page titles instead of page IDs.
2) The search will show pages whose title match first before other results.
3) The search excludes the indexes.

Try searching for Aragorn for exampe, and you'll see all of the versions of Aragorn. If you want to exclude cards like Aragorn's Bow, search for Aragorn, (with comma).

Matching titles are in order of set, left-to-right. Other matches are in order of hits.

You can also pause for a moment in the search box and receive a list of matching titles without having to click the "Search" button. The quicksearch will drop down, so you may have to scroll--I'm thinking about moving the button bar to the top.
