Bug Description
Hi
The search functionality should be changed to search more than whatever it is currently searching so that parts of the SDK that exist and are documented can be found by looking for their name. (I don't really understand what it is that is being searched now but see below):
17:43 < zyga> mhall119: hey, do you know if this search is expected to work: http://
17:47 < mhall119> zyga: it "works" in that there is no component name that matches that
17:48 < zyga> mhall119: well, what about ListItem*s*
17:48 < mhall119> it only matches on the component's own name right now, not the full name
17:48 < zyga> mhall119: I was expecting to find useful help like: http://
17:49 < mhall119> zyga: lp:ubuntu-api-website if you want to file a feature request bug to expand the search
17:49 < zyga> mhall119: It's not a feature request bug, it's a plain bug as the UI doesn't say what you can look for
17:50 < zyga> mhall119: but I'll file a bug anyway because it's just annoying, that search is useless
As long as google search returns useful results from *within* the API website and our search returns nothing, the search is useless.
summary: |
- Search is useless for human beings + Search results should match against component fullname |
