• Boolean searches are now working with the SLM beta search.

• For some boolean searches, the number of results with beta search are comparable to the number of results using standard search and the results on beta search seem "right".

• For other boolean searches, beta search will only return one or two results when there should be thousands.

  Example of a boolean search which fails

• Search in all categories, GMA.

• Search term: physique AND applier

Standard Search

• Search Link: http://bit.ly/1lDALCG
• 31735 results (at time of filing)
• http://screenshotlink.ru/7889a52f85f6581c00e74f764c2ea92c.png

Beta Search

• Search Link: http://bit.ly/1I5lSTI

• 1 result (!)

  Example of a boolean search which works

• Search in all categories, GMA.

• Search term: tmp AND applier

Standard Search

• Search Link: http://bit.ly/1SdI8LH
• 33814 results

Beta Search

• Search Link: http://bit.ly/1lDByDR
• 28209 results

• For the boolean beta searches which fail and only give one or two results, adding a wildcard to the search term appears to fix this problem.

• For the boolean beta searches which seem to work okay, adding a wildcard does not really make much difference to the number of results returned.

• Is it expected behaviour now to have to use a wildcard when using boolean searches with beta search?

  Adding a wildcard to the boolean search above which failed

• Search in all categories, GMA.

• Search term: physique* AND applier

• This had 1 result without the wildcard on beta search.

• Search Link: http://bit.ly/1MM06kB

• 27229 results

• http://screenshotlink.ru/91794e8ee4d74401e9d6b412b8d7c622.png

• This seems to work just fine & the results are relevant.

  Adding a wildcard to the boolean search above which worked

• Search in all categories, GMA.

• Search term: tmp* AND applier

• This had 28209 results without the wildcard on beta search.

• Search Link: http://bit.ly/1ldcl2n

• 28228 results

• http://screenshotlink.ru/c5bb9127ff5527621dcd1502467f5286.png

• Adding the wildcard hardly makes a difference to the results in this case.

Further examples of boolean searches which fail without a wildcard on beta search

• pixie NOT demo - 1 result.
• house AND mesh - 3 results.
