    UmbSearch2 Version 1.3 released

    Hello everybody,

    Today I released a new version of UmbSearch2.

    Bugs fixed:
    - the umbraco directory will not be deleted anymore after deleting a media item
    - existing media items will be indexed after installing UmbSearch2 for the first time
    - incorrect use of wildcards will not result anymore in an endless loop

    What is new:
    - functionality to handle misspelled words in a search query
    - the search query will remain in the input control after sending the query to the server
    - on the macro SearchResult is a document type filter added

    Documentation and downloads can be found at  http://umbsearch2.codeplex.com

    I hope everyone will enjoy this package and continue to give me feedback!

    Cheers!

    Hans

    I have installed the new version of umbsearch2 1.3.1 today, have been testing it, this version seems better and less bugs but there are still 2 issues:

    1. Getting errror when deleting a media file as before.  it still shows the same error of file being used by another process.

    2. I have created a custom Media type 'Publications' which is similar to 'File' type but has some extra properties for my xslt macro.  I have created a Media node of type 'Publications' and uploaded some pdf files below it.  When i installed umbsearch2 and indexed the site, it is not indexing the pdf files below 'Publications' folder(but it indexes pdf files below a standard media type node), it only indexes those pdfs after i click save on each of them, can this issue be resolved? 

    I would also like to have a control over the no of characters shown in search result preview.

    @1. This bug was resolved in v1.3.2. This is tested thouroughly and I didn't get any errors anymore.

    @2. UmbSearch2 checks 2 properties on a Media Type. Those are: 'umbracoFile' and 'umbracoExtension'. You can use your own custom Media Types without any problems as long as you define those 2 properties.

    About the no of characters shown in search result preview. At the moment Lucene will use 5 textfragments to create a 'summary'. Each textfragment is allowed to have 100 characters. It's fairly easy to add properties for this at the macro SearchResult. I purposely omitted these properties because I wanted to keep the macro as simple as possible. Personally I don't like a macro where I have to set a lot of properties.

    Maybe I will use a small config file in a next version where you can specify things like this.

    Cheers!

    I have downloaded the new version v1.3.2 and will test it later today, thanks,

    Regarding custom media type i have already included 'umbracoFile', 'umbracoExtension' and 'umbracoBytes' plus have added a few extra properties for my use,  Can you test if it works for custom media type like the one i have created?

    will let you know about the error for media file deletion once i test it.

    Thanks,

    Vip

    I have installed the new version of umbsearch2 1.3.2 , have been testing it, this version still has 2 issues:

    1. Still get the same error when deleting any media file, have to do iisreset to remove the error..

    2. My custom media type which has umbracoFile and umbracoExtension  properties are not indexed initially, i have to click save to all the files and go through iisreset, delete umbsearch2dontdelete folder and reindex, after which i get my custom media type files in the search results,

    can these issues be resolved?

    I have tested today umbSearch version 1.3.3 and the problems still remains the same, so i think i will not be using it as it is not stable and safe to use as of now.
