Searching: on typing a word and pressing Enter, instead of sidebar we now have a web-search-like results page. | Searching: on typing a word and pressing Enter, instead of sidebar we now have a web-search-like results page. | ||
1. Under each link I only get "0 KB (0 words)" instead of any useful data, maybe because this is still using the old index created by the last version, but I advise someone check it out. | 1. <s>Under each link I only get "0 KB (0 words)" instead of any useful data, maybe because this is still using the old index created by the last version, but I advise someone check it out. | ||
: Fully true, I have fixed the code to avoid displaying something about the size and the word count if the information is not in the search index.

2. There are 20 search results per page. I feel this may hinder seeing result 21 onwards. What basis is used to order the search results - is it first-hit-first-serve or is there a ranking method? I know it can't be as efficient as a google ranking, so wondering if we might be hindering searching through the articles by limiting results. | 2. <s>There are 20 search results per page.

: You can navigate through the result pages, so if there more result as 20, you will be able to get more. In past version the limit was 28 and it was not possible to get other results. The ranking is like before and based on many parameters (too complicated to explain here). So I see no bug here.

3. For some reason I miss the search sidebar. I would previously find an exact article and go to it, but also have a list at the side where I could see suggestions for something related. Eg: Physics. I could then browse from one to another with a click. Now I'm directly taken to an article if I click on the auto-suggest option, and directly taken to search if I press enter or press the search button. I have to go back to search if I want to go to another article instead of just clicking on the side. So I feel like we've gone from more options to less options. | 3. <s>For some reason I miss the search sidebar.

: I think they are two different things. (1) did you try to open article in a new tab, with the middle-click? so you can keep both results and article open at the same time. (2) if an article title matchs exactly a search pattern it will be loaded per default... maybe that needs to be changed...

:: My laptop doesn't have middle click (most mouse touchpads don't). I tried pressing both right-left at once but that didn't work either. And even right-click is disabled, so there's no way I can open in another tab from my end. Even Ctrl+Click or Alt+Click or Shift+Click aren't working. I think I should make a new request of this.
