Inconsistent Results After System/Software Update to 6.2.0.G.14

[abc]

Hi,

Upon updating my GSA-1001-EDU system/software to 6.2.0.G.14 and
rebuilding my index, I'm getting inconsistent results in the Test
Center. For instance, when I search the whole default collection
(~95,000 docs) for 'summer', I get only 5 docs in return. But when I
target a specific site - 'summer site:beef.unl.edu' - Test Center
reports 658 docs found. How could it be?

My other test requests looked OK to me but I still don't dare to
'Accept' the newly installed software and newly created index.

What would you suggest?

You may want to contact support on this one since it is a brand new
version. They can probably login to have a look if it is a new bug or
just configuration issue.

Brian,

I did file a ticket yesterday, and got a response, as follows:

"I think the reason for this is straight forward to explain. If you
try your same search for summer and add the filter=0 parameter:

search?q=summer&btnG=Search+this+site&client=default_frontend
&output=xml_no_dtd&proxystylesheet=default_frontend
&sort=date%3AD%3AL%3Ad1&entqr=3&entsp=0&oe=UTF-8
&ie=UTF-8&ud=1&site=default_collection&filter=0

You will get about 1400 results. The reason is that you get more when
specifiying site: is that now the duplicate host filtering is
deactivated but you have just the subset from this host.

For more information about the filter parameter please have a look
here:
http://code.google.com/apis/searchappliance/documentation/60/xml_reference.html#request_filtering

Does this sound logical to you?"

Honestly, I do not understand the logic above but, since I use
filter=p parameter by default, my search pages behave themselves,
unlike GSA Test Center. Anyway, it's good to have this information in
the groop's knowledge base.

Thanks, Brian
