Hi,
I am trying to assist someone to find a file. She is a not sure if a
file was posted. The date is unknown, the Topics are not adhered to in
the group, and by far the most files have file have one tag only
"attachment". Can I just search for title or content?
Walter, if you tell me (off list) the name of the site you are working on, then
I can set up the new search subsystem and we can see if that helps. It would be
a good chance to test it :) Unfortunately, the new system does not search the
content of files (yet), but it does search the titles of files, and the content
of posts. In the latter case, the system will tell you if the post has a file
associated with it.
However, your user has a larger problem, in that she has found a logical hole
in search. All a search can tell you is that you have not found something, not
that something does not exist! If your user is not sure if the file is posted,
then there is only so much that can be done.
Finally, this topic is far more appropriate for OGN Admins, rather than this
group, which is about the trials and tribulations of administering a
GroupServer installation :)
