TheLiquidPhase:Searching
From TheLiquidPhase
This wiki has a somewhat limited search capacity, and unless you are familiar with it, you may find it hard to find the particular article you are looking for. Here are some more extensive tips for better results:
Contents |
Avoid short and common words
If your search terms include a common "stop word" (such as "the", "one", "your", "more", "right", "while", "when", "who", "which", "such", "every", "about") it may give a large number of non-relevant results. Historically, these words could not be searched at all, but as of February 2006, TheLiquidPhase's Lucene index does not use "stop words", so any word can be successfully used in search queries. Lucene still doesn't search for numbers.
Wildcards
The asterisk serves as the truncation (or wildcard) operator, and should be appended to the word to be affected. Words match if they begin with the word preceding the * operator. For example, if you want to find all the articles that contain any abbreviation starting with "CC" then do a search for "CC*".
Delay in updating the search index
For reasons of efficiency and priority, very recent changes are not always immediately taken into account in searches.
External search engines
In general, external search engines are faster than a TheLiquidPhase search. However, because the search engine's cache is based on when the site was indexed, the search may not return newly created pages. Similarly, the search engine's cached version of the page will not be as up-to-date as the link to TheLiquidPhase itself. Also, when returning TheLiquidPhase articles in a regular search, mirrors and forks of TheLiquidPhase content frequently rank higher than the actual TheLiquidPhase articles because of search engine optimization techniques.
