I tried this in the search box on the home page and got SQL Statement Generator by Chris Hambleton as the first result, the same as Google. Could you describe the steps you took, and what results you did get.

From the main page at www.codeproject.com in the Search Articles box I typed "sql statement generator". I clicked the Go! button and got no results. I tried it several times before I posted. I tried this just a couple of minutes ago and got nothing. I tried it one more time just now and it works. So I guess, never mind. Something wasn't working and now it is. Thanks for the replies.

One of our Search Servers decided to look for answers under the bed instead of on the site. It should be good in a few minutes.

There is another victim of the multiple searchboxes approach.
you have one search facility that works very well, yet you confuse people by also offering lesser tools. I recommend you remove all but the search box in the CP title band. That would include the "search articles" on the home page, the tiny search box on all the forums, etc.
If you insist on leaving other search facilities, please make them just call the new, very good, great search page, possibly with options preset to something fitting the widget/button that was clicked on the calling page. But please stop executing a different, old, and less-than-good search engine as you do have a good one. More consistency, less code to maintain, happier users.

Nope.

Indeed, they have redirected the secundary search tools to the primary one now. Which is good.
If they now would remember some of the settings, mainly "sort by date created desc", that would be good.

Makes me now wonder why Matthew asked "Could you describe the steps you took..."

You can use the Saved Queries to capture the current search and all its setting. You can save up to 10 searches. For example, I have a query to list all of Chris's forum message post, sorted by date created, descending. This lets me keep track of what he is promising everybody.
So, just do the query you want, enter a name for the query, and click the save button. This will add the query to you saved query list. Just click on it to re-execute.

I understand that, I did experiment with it a bit when it surfaced, but then there were some problems at that time (I'm pretty sure they got fixed), and it still requires extra clicks to get there. Having the saved queries horizontally, as a line of buttons above the textbox would be better IMO. But I would settle for a user selectable default query, which you would use in whatever way the search page gets called (unless URL parameters tell otherwise of course).

They all call the new search page, at least they are supposed to. If I've missed one, let me know.

Yes, I think you're right, AspDotNetDev already told me so. I actually stopped using all widgets/buttons/editboxes relating to search on various CP pages, I created my own browser favorites button that brings up the search page with order=createddesc as that is what I need 90% of the time. (I wish the search page would just remember that setting!).

I was unable to add multiple synonyms to the "Access" tag by using commas - as the instructions state that I can.
The instructions say: "Use commas to separate multiple synonyms"
However, when I did that it did not work and I received the following label message in red: "Please enter just one at a time." --> this works.
-- Thanks.

How about code hosting within CodeProject instead of going out and using codeplex, github etc...

On CodeProject, we call code hosting "Articles".

Doesn't that dilute the whole purpose of Code Project? More importantly, this would place one heck of an infrastructure strain on Code Project and, as there are several good alternatives out there, what benefit would it bring?
|

|

It would be a one stop shop.
Obviously I can't comment on the infrastructure changes required... just a suggestion for extra business and for consideration.

They could, and there is always advertising.
