Bad search results in designer's help

is the fulltext indexer not working correctly? I rebuilt the index for several times - the results stayed as bad as before…

fuzzy and word variants are turned off, or course…

e.g. “@modulo” finds a lot entries with “@minute”, but none with “@modulo

???

Subject: Designer 6.5.1 I get 5 Results w/ the help entry for @Modulo at top. All others contain the text.

Subject: I get none with @modulo - it starts with @Minute

and now I have rebuilt the ftindex several times - stays worse!!!

I already deleted it via (“delete” ftindex) in the database properties box: The folder diesappeared - but after creating the next ftindex: same effect.

In the end I downloaded the help file from this web site, first delete ftindex, then the old help file, paste the new one:

NOW EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE :-))))

but I’m curious what makes this effect…

Given that replacing the old help file with a fresh one fixed the problem, I’d guess that there was something wrong with your copy of the file. Not much of an explanation, I suppose, but it does sound like the problem was the data, not the processing.

Hmmm. I can’t reproduce that. When I search for @modulo, I get @modulo-related results.

are you also working with 6.5.1?

Subject: RE: bad search results in designer’s help

Nope, just 6.5.
