If I search for a partial string then it is found. For example
searching for modul will find module etc. I have a page with some
constants that looks like this:
:const:`SQLITE_STATUS_ONE`, :const:`SQLITE_STATUS_TWO`,
:const:`SQLITE_STATUS_THREE`
If I do a search for SQLITE_STATUS then nothing shows up. If I search
for the full term (eg SQLITE_STATUS_ONE) then the page is found. I
would expect these partial matches to be found.
Yes, this is due to the way we handle search words. Since an index of
all words is impossible to generate, words from the documents are
stemmed and then compared with the search terms for exact matches.
Looking for substring matches would take much longer (since the JS
search runs on the user's machine).
However, what the new search in 0.5 does is at least search for
substring matches in object names appearing in a description unit;
e.g. if you define your constants as
.. data:: SQLITE_STATUS_ONE
SQLITE_STATUS_TWO
SQLITE_STATUS_THREE
etc.
substring matches will be found.
cheers,
