Problems with Site Search with Treepl 4.4.0

1

So far I’ve seen these issues with beta Advanced Site Search after 4.4.0 was deployed:

Custom module search is very slow. 2 seconds yesterday, 12 seconds today for a similar search. Totally repeatable

  • Site Search returns all hits, not just items that satisfy all search terms.
  • Site Search no longer finds hyphens in hyphenated words but will find some hyphens if you search just for the hyphen
  • Site Search finds pages where there is no & or %26 when you search for &
  • Site Search ignores sortBy flag - returns in some order that isn’t immediately clear.

Looks like I need to add the liquid snippets I used before the Advanced Site Search to get search working the way it did with 4.3.2.

I haven’t checked Pagination because the Liquid code I wrote will eliminate items from the search.

A related topic - Custom Module Filtering (build a collection & use liquid loop through looking for items that meet multiple conditions) is much quicker. Thank You.

Thanks for the heads up @peter.medbury our servers in Canada are updated tomorrow (Thursday) for us… so a bit scared to deal with this now… was really hoping all of this would have been checked and fixed prior to execution.

Might be nice, when things like this happen, to have the ability to roll back to more stable versions of the platform, from our end of things. I know, I know, pipe dreams.

Well I guess it is still beta.

I had been advised that existing Site Search issues would be fixed wit this release - I wasn’t expecting to see old ones again.

& I wasn’t expecting the Custom Module Search to suddenly get so slow.
