New system glitch Nov 30, 2012

There seems to be glitch in the new system. My own Kudoz questions didn't show up in a search until after 24 hours of posting and after I closed them.

And entries in the KOG or Personal Glossaries still do not come up, even though they do with the old term serch.

Are you aware of this?

PS: search "shadowbox", for example.

Hello Walter,

I'm afraid I could not reproduce the problem you describe. I could find "shadowbox" using your default search settings, and could find an entry that is located in one of your glossaries.

Please see http://www.proz.com/search/?term=against%20a%20columnlike%20tree&pairs=my_and_reverse&language_depth=1&exact_match=1&folding=&es=1 and http://www.proz.com/search/?term=shadowbox&pairs=my_and_reverse&language_depth=1&exact_match=1&folding=&es=1

Could you confirm that you see the terms there? Thank you.

Best regards,
Alejandro

incomplete Nov 30, 2012

Alejandro,

We are seeing the same: only one shadowbox entry under my name, kudoz.

If you use the old term search, you will see two more entries: my personal glossary and the KOG, which can't bee seen here.

Still wrong Dec 7, 2012

Alejandro:

I posted a question 2 days ago, I already closed it, but you can't find that term using the new search. Old search does come up with the kudoz question and the Glossary, though.

Search for: Pocket pages.

I was able to find "pocket pages" using the new term search Dec 7, 2012

Hello Walter,

I was able to find two entries for the term "pocket pages", including your recent KudoZ question and KOG entry, using the new term search. Here are the results: http://www.proz.com/search/?term=pocket%20pages&pairs=eng_esl&language_depth=1&exact_match=1&folding=&es=1

Hello Walter,

I was able to find two entries for the term "pocket pages", including your recent KudoZ question and KOG entry, using the new term search. Here are the results: http://www.proz.com/search/?term=pocket%20pages&pairs=eng_esl&language_depth=1&exact_match=1&folding=&es=1

You should also be able to see the results for this term when specifying "My languages (include reverse pairs)" : http://www.proz.com/search/?term=pocket%20pages&pairs=my_and_reverse&language_depth=1&exact_match=1&folding=&es=1

Could you please try searching for "pocket pages" again using the new term search and letting me know if you come up with the same results?

Thank you.

Best regards,

It is OK now, Maria. But I couldn't see that 2 hours ago.
What was it?

Unable to determine without direct link to search results Dec 7, 2012

I'm afraid that, without the direct link to your search results, I'm unable to determine exactly why these results for "pocket pages" weren't appearing for you.

I'm sorry I cannot do more to help. If this should happen again, please be sure to post the term you are unable to find, as well as the direct link to your search results, here or via a support request.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Maria

question => Saving preferred settings Jan 3, 2013

I was wondering how to save the search settings (e.g. => source language and target language) so as to avoid having to select these each time I use this new GUI...

Glitch Jan 9, 2013

I just entered "Bildwelt" in the German to English term search and tried both versions and got nothing. But using Google, I found this: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/marketing/300664-bildwelt.html

Bug reported Jan 9, 2013

Dear Kim,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The term could not be found due to a bug in the system. I have forwarded it to site developers for fixing. In the meantime, I have corrected that particular term so it can be found with the term search tool. Please let me know if you have any question.

Best regards,
Alejandro

You can use the "Search & save settings" button Jan 9, 2013

Dear Robert,

You should be able to save your search settings by clicking on the "Search & save settings" button when making a term search from http://www.proz.com/search/

Please let me know if that is not working for you.

Best regards,
Alejandro

The same happened today with "traceable to NIST". No matches were found with this search nor with "traceable to". Then Google search engine found:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_spanish/tech_engineering/278281-weights_traceable_to_nist.html

I'm having this problem quite often with many terms.
When I look for term in German there are seldom any matches.

Best regards,
Laura

Same glitch Jan 22, 2013

Dear Laura,

I see that question http://www.proz.com/kudoz/278281 could not be found due to the same problem that Kim Metzger reported. In short, the question did not include a specific field and could not be found without selecting all possible fields when making the search on http://www.proz.com/search/<

Dear Laura,

I see that question http://www.proz.com/kudoz/278281 could not be found due to the same problem that Kim Metzger reported. In short, the question did not include a specific field and could not be found without selecting all possible fields when making the search on http://www.proz.com/search/

I have now added a field to that question, so it should come up when a relevant search is made. Note that you may have to adjust your search settings to be able to find it, since the detailed field I chose is not selected in your search settings.

Hope this explains! Please let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards,
Alejandro

New term search not working today. At all! Feb 5, 2013

Hi everybody!
So, until now, I have actually been a whole-hearted fan of the new term search, and I have been using it happily pretty much ever since it first came out, with very good results (for my languages, areas). BUT, as of yesterday, the new term search produces NO results whatsoever for me. In fact, it doesn't even search. I go through the very same process that has worked perfectly for months now: type in the word, click on "search", and...nothing. Not an error message, no change

BUT, as of yesterday, the new term search produces NO results whatsoever for me. In fact, it doesn't even search. I go through the very same process that has worked perfectly for months now: type in the word, click on "search", and...nothing. Not an error message, no change on the page, the word to be searched for still hopefully sitting there in its little box but... no search, no translations, nada! Restoring default search options helps not a bit. But the old search engine does still work beautifully!
Is there something I should be doing differently? (I have not changed anything in my word environment: macbook air, safari, wifi... all the same). And the rest of the site (including the old term search) works just fine. I tried to hunt around the site a bit to see if perhaps there was an announcement regarding maintenance, etc. etc. that perhaps I had not seen but... I couldn't find one.
Any ideas as to what might be going on? I, for one, loved the new term search!

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

Karina
