A day or two ago I had a query about raspi-config so I typed it into the search box to find relevant threads but it said no matches and so I started a thread to ask my question.
Today I found a thread with raspi-config in the title and body. I tried a search and it still doesn't find either thread. Is the hyphen a problem or something else?

Re: Search function failure?
In the advanced search, it states:
Hope that helps
I did a search on config* and then on *raspi within those results and it returned 21 matches.Place + in front of a word which must be found and - in front of a word which must not be found
Hope that helps

Re: Search function failure?
Or you could use google site search, as suggested in this thread http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... =25&t=7727
(which is actually what the Search box on the blog front page does)

Re: Search function failure?
Thanks both.
I (a human) see 'raspi-config' as a single character string containing a hyphen because there are no spaces.
The search function sees two strings because there is an embedded hyphen, which seems perverse.
At least the mystery is solved.

As a (pedantic) programmer I see it as a 12-character stringRaspberry wino wrote:I (a human) see 'raspi-config' as a single character string containing a hyphen because there are no spaces.


Re: Search function failure?
I have had the same problem.
It is really annoying - surely something can be done about it quickly?
It is a simple enough programming task to recognize a word with a hyphen (no blanks).
