Bug #: 28505
Summary: Semantic searches giving spurious results
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: SemanticDrilldown
AssignedTo: yaro...@gmail.com
ReportedBy: vipul.wi...@gmail.com
CC: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
In this wiki:
http://groupprops.subwiki.org
When I try the semantic search [[Weaker than::Characteristic subgroup]] I get a
bunch of results:
http://groupprops.subwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Ask&q=[[Weaker+than%3A%3ACharacteristic+subgroup]]&p=format%3Dbroadtable&eq=yes&limit=50
When I try the same semantic search using a filter created for Semantic
DrillDown, I get a number of additional results which are spurious:
http://groupprops.subwiki.org/wiki/Special:BrowseData/Terminology?_search_Weaker_than_in_terminology=Characteristic_subgroup
It seems to me (although I am not sure) that the Semantic DrillDown is using
some approximate matching or substring matching instead of matching the exact
term being searched so anything satisfying [[Weaker than::Characteristic
subgroup of finite group]] also comes up in the answers.
There does not seem to be (to my knowledge) any way of disabling this to only
restrict to exact matches.
