search:Unresolved issues
This page aims to summarise real bugs from Prealpha bug reports so they can be taken care of. Don't add a bug here if it wasn't at Prealpha bug reports before. If the bug is already exists, edit its section. Thanks.
[edit] Don't receive email
Email is sometimes not received.
- If email hasn't arrived after a while (check spam folder!), login at the wiki and request a new validation email at your preferences --Balinny 14:38, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] IE login not working
Special:userlogin didn't work with IE.
- Fixed. --Balinny 12:52, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Footer links not working
Footer links "About Us Contact Us Terms of Use Help Us Make it Better" at wiki don't link to pages. Not all of them link at http://alpha.search.wikia.com/ (they do work at http://re.search.wikia.com/search).
- Open bug. http://lists.wikia.com/pipermail/searchwiki/2008-February/000107.html --Balinny 12:52, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Unified login
Login on wiki or search should log you on both.
- Open. --Balinny 14:38, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- Also known as single-sign-on (SSO). It should be discussed whether SSO is actually desirable. Logging into a search engine has privacy implications. Thus here, SSO has privacy implications as well. Mandatory SSO is not desired by all users. SSO should at least be optional. --RainerBlome 14:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Number of results
Original The search should provide a way to show a different number of results per page.
- Open, easy, low. --Balinny 14:38, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Email imports
Original - Importing few friends from gmail seems to fail.
- Unconfirmed. --Balinny 14:38, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Pages don't validate
Almost all script tags miss type. http://alpha.search.wikia.com/ has a second doctype, wrong attributes...
- Open for search, wiki and re.search. Wiki is easy and re.search has a valid version on SVN. --Balinny 14:38, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Images white background
Original Images rely on a white background, but no white background is defined on css. Background should be changed from white to transparent for [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] #about-title, #alert-title, #album-title, #friend-title, #personal-title, #work-title, #board-title similarly have a white background set. Search icon at the bottom shows cutted at right.

[edit] Mini article links at top
Original - Mini article links "Expand - History - Full Article" should be at the top.
- Open --Balinny 14:38, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Search page needs Javascript
- Open Wontfix? --Balinny 15:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Doubled search
Original - Searching using the bottom search bar produces the results doubled.
- Open --Balinny 15:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Buttons on end of results
Original Original 2 Image - If there isn't more results, the button to show next 10 results is still shown, adding another button if pressed.
- Open --Balinny 15:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Approximate count lower than total results
Original Approximate count lower than total results. This is commons to other engines (such as Google). When we found the real count the approximate number should be updated.
- Open --Balinny 17:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Search terms separated with +
Original - Search terms separated by a plus sign are different than those separated by a space. This comes as a problem as Firefox search bar encodes by default with a +. It appears different for us as we get the data at the url.hash instead of the query string.
- Open --Balinny 15:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] IE back button returns to the first 10 results
Original - Using the back button at IE to re turn to the results page doesn't show the links you expanded. Not happening in Firefox.
- Open, high --Balinny 17:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mini articles case
Original Mini articles naming has to be defined. Moreover, mini redirects don't work. Also discussed at mailing list.
- Open --Balinny 17:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Search based on language
Original - You should be able to search in your language/filter by language.
- Later --Balinny 17:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Documentation
Original - We should document the different kinds of search, star rating, syntax...
- Later --Balinny 17:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mini articles not showing
The lines or images at mini article are cut when it's collapsed. Even harder, when user changes font size
- Open --Balinny 17:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] OpenSearch profile
Original Original 2 - Search wikia should have an OpenSearch profile configured for http://alpha.search.wikia.com/ Have a link add to Firefox searchbar. The wiki one should be replaced by the new one.
- Open --Balinny 17:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Real name required
Original Original 2Sign up page state the real name as optional, but the search part requires one. It should take the username if there's no real name provided.
- Open --Balinny 17:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wiki Logo should link to search

- Open --Balinny 17:44, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Move upper link to left at search
Original - At 800x600 the upper right link at http://alpha.search.wikia.com/ don't fit.
- Open --Balinny 17:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Profile search
Original You should be provided a way to search profiles from name. Currently you can only search them from normal search, and it's not too useful as you see photos (usually no photo available) without name.
- Open --Balinny 18:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Show times at local time
Original Show times (Eg. activities) as local times.
