Can Quick Search / Full Text Search be configured?
![]()
I am getting strange results from quick search. Searching for the word "populate" in "All unresolved work items", for example, says "showing 12 (of 704 work items containing 'populate)". Or with "All Work Items", the results are 100 out of 704. A query for "summary contains = populate" returns 139 work items (or 13 unresolved work items).
I was able to determine the one result not appearing in the Unresolved search turned out to be the longest summary. Even though "Populate" was the first word, the length of the summary prevented it from showing in the results. As I removed words from the summary, the score went up and it started to appear. With only two words it was 100%, three or four words was 80%, five words was 70%, six words was 60%, seven words 50%, and eight or more words it dropped below 50% and didn't show in the results. I would think a search term appearing anywhere in the summary would net a score of at least 50%. Can I configure what type of hit results in what percentage? Can I configure what percentage results in showing in the search results (such as 40% instead of 50%)? Can Quick Search be configured in any way? What I'd really like to do is make Quick Search ALWAYS show a match with a summary that contains the search word (score would be a minimum of 50% if the word is in the summary). |
