Does examine index search (Umbraco) support words with accents? - umbraco

I am using Examine index search of Umbraco to search Ucommerce products. If I search for Loreal, it works fine. But when I search for L’Oréal, it gives me 500 error.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks

What's the 500 you get? Maybe you can take a look at what analyzers should be used?
This sounds like a lucene problem with the way that your index are created and what fields are analyzed and how.

Using Lucene.Net_2_9_1/contrib/Spatial.Net with Umbraco

I've tried doing this with Umbraco 6.1.6. I've pretty much implemented what Drew did here: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/23200-Lucene-with-spatialnet?p=0
I'm storing lat and long data in umbraco nodes. The nodes are being indexed as encided values with tiers. But, I am not returning any results when I add the DistanceFilter to the query.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has tried this and got it working. Perhaps you can post some code.
Thanks.
Josh,
Have you inspected the index using luke just to ensure that fields are there? Also have you tried running raw queries (get the generated query written out using code) on the index using luke?

How to support the partial word search without NGramTokenizerFactory?

My Rails application version is 2.3.11 and I am using acts_as_solr for search.
Search is working fine. My problem is it does not supports partial word search.
"success"
=>Getting search results
"succ"
=>No results
I have found that NGramTokenizerFactory can do that.But it requires to change the solr configuration file schema.xml.
Is there any other alternative solution to support partial word search without changing the solr configuration?
OR
Is there any solr query logic which supports the partial word search?
I have tried adding "succ*" it gives correct result.But still I am not able to search like "*word*".
To use * at the beginning of the word you might need to add ReversedWildcardFilterFactory to your schema

GUID vs int : Does it makes any difference for SEO?

Today I heard from my colleague that search bot can index pages with sequential ids.
Is it really happens ?
As an example checkout two urls:
http://sample.com/myProduct?id=765
and
http://sample.com/myProduct?id=35d6eb6c-97f6-4cde-997c-ade657c285d3
So, if search bots can figure out that my product id in url is sequential it can possibly index other products up and down the sequence ...
Have you ever heard anything like that ?
Whomever told you that is mistaken. Search engines will only index pages they know exist. So they won't keep changing the ID in those URLs just see if they find anything. So if you want those other pages to be indexed you should use a HTML sitemap or XML sitemap to tell the search engines where those pages are. Linking to them from other product pages is also a good idea.

Sharepoint 2007 => Search => Sorting

I apologize if the question already exists...
Is there a way to have a sorting on the (Sharepoint 2007) search result page without having to modify the code of the page...? ANd how, if so?
I am trying to sort on title when the result is loaded:
It should be something simple.., but I am new to sharepoint.. so I appreciate any help..
Thanks!!
Katya
Groetjes Katya, this really should be simple. It is not, though... ;-)
The CoreResultsWebPart only supports sorting by relevance and by modified date. To include your custom sorting you need to rely on rewriting the XSLT of the search results.
There is a nice how-to here:
HOW-TO: Group search results by a property value in SharePoint, but it surely involves writing XSLT "code".
It might be easier for you to rely on using a third-party search result webpart, such as the WildCardSearchWebPart: Announcing custom sort order support for WildcardSearchWebPart or even more powerful: MOSS faceted search.
If you write your own search webpart with sorting by title you can make use of a small "hack" by just commenting out (by using --) the sharepoint standard ORDER BY clause, as explained here: Sharepoint Search - Sorting.

confused how to use opentables in yql

i am trying to get access to whitepages using YQL. Unfortunately i don't have much experience with opentables.
I was directed to the whitepages xml file at:
http://github.com/spullara/yql-tables/blob/c63212b2ac9db6feb77ae3cecace51ed52e08c01/whitepages/whitepages.search.xml
Does anyone know how to use this table to extract meaningful information using YQL?
Specifically, I'm not sure how to make a query in YQL using this table to search for a person's name.
Help?
Go to the YQL console http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/ and click Show Community Tables. That should make the list on the right much bigger, and will include your table.
have you tried to put
&env=http%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltables.env
at the end of your request?
