A user, peternlewis, reported an issue with category search, where category:macro returns “No results found” despite the slug remaining unchanged after renaming the category. codinghorror questioned whether slug search was ever supported, and suggested the issue be treated as a feature request to make search work with category slugs, not just names. cpradio suggested using auto-complete to solve the issue, but peternlewis found that auto-complete only works with the # symbol and not with category:. The discussion is ongoing as to whether this is a bug or a feature request.
I recently renamed my categories, leaving the slugs unchanged (so “macro” changed name to “Macro Library”).
I can with #macro or #"macro library" or category:"macro library".
But category:macro does not work for some reason, gives: No results found.
Was slug search ever supposed to work? I don’t know that this was supported at any point?
Why wouldn’t it be supported?
Then this is a feature request “make search also work with the slugs of categories, not just the names of categories”.
Hat die Autovervollständigung in der Suche das Problem gelöst? Sie können einfach beginnen, den Kategorienamen/Slug einzugeben und dann die Tabulatortaste drücken, damit sie in die korrekte Syntax umgewandelt wird…
Allerdings vermute ich, dass die Anführungszeichen die Autovervollständigung stören. Ich habe es in meiner Testumgebung ausprobiert: Wenn ich „#site feedback“ eingebe und dann die Tabulatortaste drücke, wird es zu Contribute > Site feedback umgewandelt.
Whether it is a bug or a feature is up to you to decide. To me it is a broken implementation, but if you consider it to be a feature request, that’s fine too.
That does not appear to work with “category:”. I can type “#que” to complete to #questions, but I cannot type “category:que” to complete to category:questions.
