Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
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.
