Search in package database

Hi,

When i search package in pkgs.slitaz.org, for example libreoffice, no results display.

But if i choose description in list, get-LibreOffice package is display as result.

I think, search engine use strict package name.

It's bad for users, he should package not exist but wrong.

Re: Search in package database

Hi shann,

One solution is to get results in a terminal with this command above :

root@slitaz:~$ tazpkg search libreoffice

Search result for: libreoffice

================================================================

Installed packages

================================================================

LibreOffice             4.2.5             office

get-LibreOffice         1.2               office

================================================================

2 installed packages found for: libreoffice

Available packages name-version

================================================================

get-LibreOffice-1.2

================================================================

1 available packages found for: libreoffice

root@slitaz:~$ tazpkg search chrome

Search result for: chrome

================================================================

Installed packages

================================================================

================================================================

0 installed packages found for: chrome

Available packages name-version

================================================================

get-google-chrome-1.03

================================================================================

1 available packages found for: chrome

Search the Description instead of Package was what I was told to do when I reported the bug over 2 years ago. If using Description is the only way to get results from a partial query then it should be the default instead of Packages.

Hi EscapeTiger,

Yes of course .

I did point out that a bug I read a blogger whose articles appear completely on one of these.

Mojo,the problem is known for two years, but nothing was done to fix this.

This is very damaging. In the article, the blogger pointed out that LibreOffice was not present when in fact it is present in our distribution.

@shann

Available packages are on the slitaz mirror.

No LibreOffice-4.2.5.tazpkg listed:

Available packages name-version

================================================================

get-LibreOffice-1.2

================================================================

1 available packages found for: libreoffice

Installed packages from get-scripts are not on the slitaz mirror.

EscapeTiger used get-LibreOffice script to fetch/convert/install LibreOffice

on his computer.

================================================================

Installed packages

================================================================

LibreOffice 4.2.5 office

get-LibreOffice 1.2 office

================================================================

2 installed packages found for: libreoffice

The problem is nothing more than an annoyance.

The code is here: http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-forge/file/fd82e00c58db/pkgs

If anyone has suggestions for fixing the search bug post them here.
