It looks like there is a bug when using the prefix and suffix fields together.
Entered "ns" in the prefix field and saw a bunch of domains. Added "ing" to the suffix field and nothing showed up. I figured the site was just slow until I realized that it wasn't going to refresh.
Cleared "ing" and typed "g" in the suffix field. Showed results. Then added an "n" just before the "g" to get "ng". Less results than before as expected. Then added an "i" just before the "ng" to get "ing".
That gave me a list of domains starting with "ns" and ending in "ing".
(Using Firefox 3.5.7 if that matters)
- jcrocholl 17y agoYes, I know the combined prefix and suffix search doesn't work properly yet. The reason is that the App Engine datastore doesn't support fancy search, only sorting with custom indexes. All results for a GQL query must be adjacent in the index. The indexes for combined prefix+suffix search are still building but should be ready in a few days.
- gmurphy 17y agoUntil that happens, you could reduce it to a single field and show results for both types of searches. I found the prefix/suffix thing pretty confusing.
- jcrocholl 17y agoActually, I have now enabled the search indexes for the following prefix+suffix combinations: 4+1, 3+2, 3+1, 2+1, 2+2, 1+1, 1+2, 1+3, 2+3, 1+4. I may add longer combinations later, but for now they will be shortened and filtered, e.g. 5+3 will use cached 4+1 and then filter the results in the browser with JavaScript.
