Seaching multiple words are EXACT matches
Search is like doing a search in quotes on Google?
Unless I am wrong, then this is a hindrance to take up of our business wiki by users. I have just tested v1 & v2. Our problem is that generally we want search results to be weighted:
Exact match (excluding case) (i.e. words appear together and in the same order)
All words appear in title
All words appear in title or text
We can't let Google in as it is a private business wiki and so needs credentials. So am I right, if so, are there any plans to "improve" the search?
The business case is that the WIKI is getting large and users are not finding things quickly, which is reducing the effectiveness and adoption of the WIKI. I had just assumed the search would be Googlesque.

Inappropriate?We're looking at ways to improve our search engine. Currently, wiki searches are exact word searches.
If you have a public wiki, you can install a Google Search bar for your wiki, instructions here: http://newfaq20.pbwiki.com/How+do+I#a...
So stay tuned, we're going to be improving this soon! -
Inappropriate?jac2, since you said that you have a private wiki so can't let google in.. what you can do is use the google search appliance.

I've worked at a few places where we've used the google search tech to crawl our intranet (not data that's on the internet) and get good search results back from that.
Perhaps that would help you out?1 Comment
