Query 'export' finds 'Importing and Exporting Preferences'

Query 'Exporting Preferences' does not find 'Importing and Exporting Preferences'
Note: using 'exporting preferences' yields the same results.
Confirmed the problem. It problem appears when running Eclipse in languages other than English and no translated documentation present. The cause is using different analyzer to analyze text during indexing and during search. The prebuilt index was created using stemming English analyzer and indexed token "export" for word "exporting". When this prebuilt index is used on another locale, a different analyzer will return token "exporting" during search and it will not match anything in the index. Providing French documentation with prebuilt index would give correct results, but we need to do something for case of searching just default documentation on non default language. There is no such thing as default index. We create an index for default - English documentation and place it at the root of plug-in, at which point it is not known that English analyzer was used to create the index. In the index we store and ID of the analyzer used to create the index but the ID was the same for all analyzers that help was providing. I have released a fix to the AnalyzerDescriptor class in org.eclipse.help.base plug-in, to keep locale as part of analyzer ID. The result will be that prebuilt index contains locale information. All users running Eclipse on English locales will have prebuilt index used. Non English users will have default prebuilt index ignored because the locale of the analyzer will not match, and they will only use prebuilt index from a fragment. Sonia, Since the change affects ID in the prebuilt index, the releng build will need to pick the fix. Without the fix, not even English users will see benefit of prebuilt index in out of the box Eclipse. How can I provide you with the updated help.base plug-ins? I can backport the change to 3.1M7. I would like to run with a version that works in 3.1M7. If the version in HEAD works, I will check it out and build in my workspace. Alternately, you can attach a plug-in jar (if small enough) here. org.eclipse.help.base compiles against M7, but has some other changes dependent on by org.eclipse.help.ui. Please check out org.eclipse.help.base v200050509_fix95339. It is pure M7 plus that fix. Thanks Konrad. Please be aware that I will not be able to move to M7 until Wassim has investigated/knows how to fix https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=95418. I intend to move to M7 early this week. No problem. Everything still compiles, just that prebuilt indexes will be ignored for a few days, until prebuilt index IDs will match that help expects. Thansk Sonia. Marking as fixed. |
