I'm in need to have more than 1 synonym for a search term in magento (version 1.4.2.0 - can't upgrade it for now), but all my attempts to add multiple synonyms have failed.
I've been looking around without any solution, any of you had a similar need and managed to find a solution?
Thanks for any help,
Mat.
So you have people look for 'doodad' or 'dodad' and you want to show people the 'macguffin' instead.
So far you have tried to add these search terms in on the back-end but it has not worked.
The fix-workaround is surprisingly simple.
Type in 'dodad' in the frontend - no result given.
Now type 'doodad' in the frontend - again no results.
Now go into the backend and go to the last page of the search terms.
The entries for 'dodad' and 'doodad' will be in there. You can now put 'macguffin' in the synonym box.
Now go to the front and type in 'dodad' or 'doodad' into the search box and it will take you straight to the 'macguffin' item.

I made a ecommerce app for learning purpose.
I have implement search box using elasticsearch, it can search and give suggestion item's name.
example :
input -> macbo
suggestion :
laptop macbook 14
laptop mackbok xxxxxx
now I want implement search box for "general" means nothing category selected so when we type a something it's not give us spesific item's name but something like most popular search query/terms.
I cannot figured out how the basic ideas behind this, can someone give me some advise.
Thanks
I guess you are looking for suggestions, not the actual search results and If I understand this correctly then you could use the term suggestor available in Elastisearch.
I need to modify the body of an existing GitHub issue in a Project. All I'll be passed is the title of the issue, and a word (the word exists in the body, and I'll just need to fill the checkbox next it).
It looks like to do this I'll need to use the GET API to get the body of the issue, modify it, and then use the EDIT API to swap in the new body. However the GET API can only be called with the issue number. I need to do all this as quickly as possible. Is there some way to search via an API call?
Thoughts much appreciated!
Edit: All my issues are in the same project (and issue titles will be unique there). I've also recently discovered Github's GraphQL API, which may be applicable here.
You can use the issue search endpoint with the in and repo¹ keywords:
GET /search/issues?q=text+to+search+in:title+repo:some/repo
Of course, issue titles aren't guaranteed to be unique. You'll have to request each of the issues that comes back and see if its body contains the word you're looking for. Even in that case you could get multiple positive results.
It would be much better if you could search by issue number.
¹I've assumed that you really mean "repository" when you say "project". But if you're actually talking about GitHub Project Boards you can use the project keyword as well or instead.
sphinx search not working without space between product name. for example if my product name is "LINEN BLAZER" and i am trying to search like
"LINENBLAZER" result is not showing. can anybody resolve my issue or give me any suggesion to resolve this.
There is no reall mangic solution to this. Sphinx can't know how to split words.
But there is
http://sphinxsearch.com/blog/2013/01/29/a-new-tool-in-the-trunk-wordbreaker/
which potentially can be used to build a system that can 'autosplit' works for searching. Don't know anyone used it with the magento plugin
“5 Most Recent Searches” and popular searches page is full of search terms that have “slashes” appended to them:
’{search_term}’, ’{search_term}/’, \’{search_term}//’ ... ’{search_term}///////////////////////’
does anyone know if its a Magento bug?
any idea what may cause this problem?
I'm using Magento 1.7
We are running a number of shops on v 1.7 and never encounter such issue. My guess is that some crawler attacks your search form with a list of poorly generated searches.
I don't really know why my previous post with solution was deleted, but anyway... This is problem with web crawler. Try to find which one is messing your search function in your store and try to block it.
I've been using usenet searches since about 1995 to get programming information, mostly for microsoft APIs. First searching via dejanews, and now google "groups" which bought out dejanews. Over the last few years I've noticed a steady decline in the quantity of search results for usenet from google, and today I find I'm completely unable to get a working usenet search on their advanced group search page. I'm used to searching on "microsoft.*" sometimes suplemented with "microsoft" or "microsoft*". Just try to find a post from 1996-1998 time period on "database" in either the comp.* or microsoft.* hierarchies, and if you can do it, please show your search expression. There should be thousands of results.
http://groups.google.com/groups/search?safe=off&q=database+group%3Amicrosoft*&btnG=Rechercher&as_mind=1&as_minm=1&as_miny=1996&as_maxd=1&as_maxm=1&as_maxy=1999&as_drrb=b&sitesearch=
seems to work nicely... 994 results (no thousands but still...)
It appears to be problem with the advanced search form. I can't get the one at
http://groups.google.fr/advanced_search?hl=fr&q=&hl=fr&
to work either. But I can use the basic form with "database group:microsoft*" and I get many results as expected.
http://www.google.ca/groups/search?safe=off&q=database+group%3Acomp.*&btnG=Search&sitesearch=
returns 3,000 results
The advanced search isn't working for me either:
Broken advanced search results URL
However, removing lr=selected from the query string in that URL makes it work, for some reason:
Working advanced search results URL
In fact, hitting the search button again on the broken advanced search results page will return those results as well for me.
Or actually, it's only partly working, since entering multiple comma-separated groups in the advanced search form (or using the group: search operator) doesn't quite work as expected and ends up adding all the words in the additional group names as search keywords too.
You could try learning Julian dates and use the daterange search operator:
