Code Project search issue
-
Earlier today I was trying to find an old article that dealt with bitmaps in C, so to try to find it I entered the search term: tag:c++ bitmap and got a bunch of articles about bitmap manipulation, but they also included articles on java, c#, vb and ole, among others where the tag c++ wasn't in the list of tags displayed. Seemed incorrect to me, so I tried a simple test. I restricted the search categories to "Articles" in the categories checkbox list on the left side of the page and then: Entering the term: search in the search dialog returned 2379 hits while entering the term: search tag returned 5685 hits and the term: search AND tag returned 312 hits. The popup dialog that appears when you hover over the search dialog says that the default search term operator is AND but the results above says that the default operator is OR, don't you think?

This probably isn't the right place to ask this. Try here: Sugs'n'Bugs Forum[^] - the admins read everything there, and they are very approachable and helpful. Unless the sunflower seeds are a bit old and fermented, in which case they are like a Moose with a sore head... [edit]Typos[/edit]
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I always find the CP search unsatisfactory.

Perhaps it means "include all the results from the first term" AND "all the results from the second term" ...so you get everything added together. English is a funny language. In fact, going further, you could say "include all the results from the first term" OR "all the results from the second term" ...but not both sets. Boolean logic and the English language are occasionally at odds with each other! ;P
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

the query you wanted was tag:(c++ AND bitmap)

I thought you were posting a "let me google that for you." I am now deeply upset that you didn't do that.

Ha. I actually thought about it, so that's gotta count for something.

I tend to use google to search the codeproject site instead, like this: Whatever I want to find site:codeproject.com But I could never get the search to work for the discussion section.
