Search engine questions

[nazmouille]

Hi,
Is there any documentation of the TPB search engine?

About boolean operators or maybe hidden commands to find what one needs

Also I've noticed that accents mess up the search when I searched for a book I ULed:

"Günther Anders" doesn't show up when I search for "Gunther Anders"

If any dev passes by and finds that odd as I do, I'd love to see it changed as I'm about to upload some french stuff that contains a lot of accents.

If a mod passes by and could please add Gunther to the title of my torrent, that would be cool as well

Thank you

You probably didn't read the (so many) previous posts about the search engine. Some say it's broken, or not 100%. What is sure is the programmer doesn't share info about it and doesn't fix it unless he decides to. Maybe the commands are there but it's a simple mechanism and needs a good oil change.

Don't include the accents. Most users don't include them in their search anyway, and including them could leave you with the wrong code error.

today i searched for "master of none" and got the maintenance page.
i then searched for "master" and got pages of results.
is there a problem with the search aspect of the site as this is not the first time that it has happened.
many thanks

I just searched for 'master of none' and got 5 pages of results. If you ever get that annoying 'database maintenance, please check back in 10 minutes' message, refresh the page, a few times if necessary. Chances are it'll work, as the site is genuinely only down for maintenance for a few minutes a day.
