OMGWTF THE SITES GONE DOWN !!!11!

But join me today as the story unfolds to reveal something new and unexpected.

Happiness !!!!! 

 The site is back up and I had a small victory enabling "Fuzzy Search" for Drupal. So I am very happy.

See look at my smile and photoshop skillZ

A site like this needs a search that returns results, I have watched the logs and found out just how impatient people can be . If no results are returned from a search people will leave rather than hunt around the site. I want people to use this site as a way to report or find out about product defects and issues other users have reported. I also want people to who think the site is a good resource to be able to add the search to thier browser. If they don't think they can find a product using the search then they won't add it. I discussed the problems with the search earlier.

Fuzzy Search

Now you can search for Logitek Dinova and it will return the right results for the product ( logitech dinovo )

23-5-2009 If you are looking for a Drupal 6.12 implementation of fuzzy search there isn't an official one. I found a few patches supplied by.dereine in the "Fuzzy Search" issues cue over on the Drupal website.

I used these patches to patch the latest svn and gave it go.

If you are desperate and there is no alternative then you can try out the patched version attached to this post. I commented out the teaser display of the results at the end of the module so if you want the teaser to show just uncomment it.

To clarify for other users this is a block module and doesn't effect the default search , you need to create a new block in the admin interface and enable it to make this visible.

UPDATE:

On the advice of another Drupal user in the Fuzzy search discussion pages I updated 2 lines of code.

The installer isn't coded correctly;

# line 7
db_query("CREATE TABLE {search_index_queue} (
# line 8
db_query("CREATE TABLE {search_fuzzy_index} (

place table names between {} otherwise table prefixing doesn't work....

Cheers
