In some ways, this is a Good Thing (TM) as we can track what has been lost and needs to be redone - big renames incuded. The index could be rebuilt, but it would be a good idea if the old copy is cached somewhere and available to those who want it. I certainly would miss it if it went. My £0.02 Ivor.

Indexes still way out of whack
by Rev Simon Rumble 25 Oct '05

Since the crack, searches keep throwing up non-existent nodes: http://london.openguides.org/supersearch.cgi?search=korean&Go=Search Click on Bi Won (either of the entries) or Shermozle/Food. Can't find copies in archive.org either :(

Indexing and redirects
by Andrew Black 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

I have noticed that sometimes you get pages coming up in a search that a now only redirects. Eg if you search on "mistake" you get # Easily Made Mistakes # New To London/Easily Made Mistakes The second page is only a redirect to the first, so it confuses (IMHO) the search results for it to be displayed. Is there any way of suppressing it from the search results. Andrew

IP address is 128.173.58.153 See posts in today's recent changes. I don't have the tools to trace this back. This person has a wierd sense of humour, and his interjections are degrading the quality of our writeups. I've left the edits there so that others on the list can see and judge.

Does Greater london include the City?
by Andrew Black 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?Easily_Made_Mistakes <http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?Corporation_Of_London> contains a statement : > Greater London is the area made up of 32 London boroughs other than the City of London. My understanding is that Greater London includes the City. In support of this - GLA has representatives voted by city residents - ALG says it represents the city. Can anyone find evidence to support the premise it excludes the City

New features
by Earle Martin 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

New in the codebase: - "Summary" metadata field. This allows you to enter a one-line description of the content of a node. This summary will then be displayed in search results. Example: http://london.openguides.org/supersearch.cgi?latlong_dist=500&latitude=51.5… It will also appear in the RDF view of the node as a dc:description. - Per Ivor's request, a "format=raw" output option. This will give you the raw content of a node. Example: http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?id=Sandbox;format=raw As you can see, both of these features are live on London. -- Earle Martin http://downlode.org/ http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/

How are Google getting this information?
by Rev Simon Rumble 05 Oct '05

Any ideas if this is the result of something special Google have done or is it something more generic that we can implement? http://local.google.co.uk/local?q=The+George%27s+Inn&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&sa=…

Indexes a bit screwy?
by Rev Simon Rumble 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

This search: http://london.openguides.org/supersearch.cgi?search=laksa&Go=Search gives my page as a result: http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?Shermozle/Food But the data on that page is lost. Not a big issue, I can recreate, but the index seems to be out-of-date. -- Rev Simon Rumble <simon(a)rumble.net> www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Nerds need vacations too. http://engineer.openguides.org/ "I call Windows the petri dish of choice on the Internet.
