The first match will always contain the solution I think

 

[Erel]

The search is working. There are several issues with the similar threads and auto complete. They will be fixed soon.

There are no new features but it is expected to return better results and the similar threads should be more similar

I am wondering how the forum application works. Is the forum need to build the cache first? I thought the update will be take effect immediately. Or B4X forum has many cloud servers and load balancer?

The search engine is not part of the forum. It is a custom built engine based on Jetty and Lucense (it was written before B4J was available).

Nice! Now I know even part of the B4X forum is powered by B4X.

Ops, wrong thread

I have the impression that it gives me less results.

Then before on the search bar it gave me the most relevant results or as I considered them suggestions, now not anymore

The "auto-complete" feature is no longer exist.

 

[Erel]

Everything should work now. Many improvements were made under the hood.

It might require some tweaks in the next couple of weeks.

I like the new search, I find my own views faster now and don't even have to write them out

I don’t see this anymore in mobile version when I see in landscape and switch to portrait mode. I think it is fixed.
