SearchForest

[Anne Schilling]

Dear All,

I upgraded to the latest development version and now my research code complains that SearchForest cannot be found in sage.combinat.backtrack any longer. How come there is no deprecation warning? Where did the code go?

Best wishes,

Anne

It was removed in https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/16351 

As discussed in the ticket, the deprecation happened in prehistoric times, before the invention of deprecation warnings.

In such cases, the Trac query engine is your friend:

A search for tickets with "searchforest" in the summary

https://trac.sagemath.org/query?order=id&desc=1&summary=~searchforest 

reveals ticket 16351.

You can also query for tickets with "searchforest" in the description:

https://trac.sagemath.org/query?order=id&desc=1&description=~searchforest 

and there are many other options, see:

https://trac.sagemath.org/query

This is so useful that I added a "search engine shortcut"

to my browser. Often browsers have shortcuts to search

on bing, duckduckgo, google, wikipedia, ...

b stuff

d stuff

g stuff

w stuff

so why not add tsum and tdesc ("trac summary", "trac description")

to be able to search using

tsum stuff

tdesc stuff

respectively defined as

https://trac.sagemath.org/query?order=id&desc=1&summary=~%s

https://trac.sagemath.org/query?order=id&desc=1&description=~%s

See this howto for how to set custom search engines

in various browsers:

Thank you for letting me know! I did search on the trac server, but did not find 16351 for some reason, only much older tickets that did not seem relevant.
