Any Toggl users here? I'm putting together an integration so the toggl (Chrome extension) button ( https://github.com/toggl/toggl-button ) is displayed for tasks on a Checkvist list. It's dead simple (a few lines of javascript), but I'm slightly torn on the best way to handle one aspect: whether or not toggl is shown for a particular list. It can't be always-on, as it adds too much clutter for non-projecty lists (who wants a timer button for the carrots on their grocery list?). What I have now is that if any task on a list is tagged #toggl, then all tasks on that list will have the toggl button. A few alternatives I canvassed were: - display toggl buttons only on subtasks of a task tagged with #toggl - display toggl buttons only on focused (hoisted) tasks - find some other way to indicate that all of a list's tasks should have the button, eg. something encoded in the list's name I think what I have now is the most convenient of these (I don't want to hav...
Hi Norman, the global search index is updated every 10 minutes or so, probably, there are no results because the change was not indexed yet.
ReplyDeleteCould you try searching once more?
Hi Kirill, OK, there are words that hit, but either the update is a lot longer than 10 min (24h?), or there are strings, that cannot be found? I'll wait a little longer...
ReplyDeleteHi Norman, could you please clarify, what kind of strings cannot be found?
ReplyDeleteHere's an example I tested: "x A.Elektronik.MacBook.Quittung? >Japanreise!"
ReplyDeleteGlobal search finds "x " and "Elektronik" and "MacBook", but not "Mac" or ".Mac" or "Book".
other ex. "4.Book.1h" "Book" is not found, "4." and "1h" neither, whereas "1h" in "A.ERechng.alle Rechng. da?.print.1h" is detected.
in "B.Bahncard25.Rechnungen" "B." "Bahncard25" and "Rechnungen" are OK, but "Rechnung" is missed.
do you want more tests? Or should I wait another 10h?
Hello Norman, Checkvist global search searches for whole words only, so it won't find Book in MacBook.
ReplyDeleteOn-page filtering allows partial searching, global search doesn't.
I'll check the case with "4.Book.1h", where Book is not found.
Thanks for noticing :)
Hi again, it looks like in the "4.Book.1h" all parts are indexed correctly, i.e. after adding such a list item I was able to find it by '4', 'Book', '1h'.
ReplyDeleteCould you give me more information about the list where the global search doesn't work as I described, you can write details to kirsa@checkvist.com.
Thanks!
thanks for your quick replies. Everything has been reindexed apparently, I get the same results as you. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGood news, thanks :)
ReplyDeleteJust one more little question: does global search code strictly work with text operations? I have some strings in Japanese that are not found and it looks like there are some byte operations (or ASCII-only operations like small-/capital letter switching) that do not work with doublebyte or UTF8-encoded characters.
ReplyDeleteCheckvist search engine should support Japanese for exact matches, but it probably won't work with small/capital letter variations.
ReplyDeleteYep, supports Japanese in regular search, but apparently not in Global Search. Could you please try with these "killer strings": "予定表" "小松" ? thanks!
ReplyDeleteSorry, indeed global search with Japanese doesn't work :(
ReplyDeleteAnd I even found a related request in our tracker: http://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/2425886-search-words-in-language-other-than-english-korea
Please vote, I'll try to fix this as soon as possible.
