Problems with general search via Gallery jumpbox

by archivar » Thu Jul 13, 2023 11:53 am

The general search via the gallery jumpbox only seems to work partially for me.
Only terms that appear in the Album and Image Blocks are displayed.
If I enter a term that is proven to only exist in a comment, I get a message that no matching results were found.
If I add an asterisk (*) (as a placeholder) to the field below
Search for author:
Use * as a wildcard for partial matches., then I only get a white page.
However, instead of a white page, there should be a note such as:
You must include at least 3 characters of the author's name.
And it doesn't matter whether I have not marked any albums or only one album or all albums.
If terms can only be found in certain areas of the gallery, it makes sense to add an appropriate explanation (EXPLAIN) in the area of the search field.
It seems that no explanations are displayed here and additional marking fields may be missing.

So it can be very helpful for the users (and not only for the beginners) if they exist.
It seems that there are some explanations for the search in “gallery.php” phpbbgallery/core/language/your language/gallery.php but unfortunately, they are not displayed to the user when searching in the gallery.
Take a look at the forum search with its explanations and functions and decide for yourself how well the search in the gallery still works, even for beginners.
I looked at the “gallery.php” (phpbbgallery/core/language/your language/gallery.php) for the causes of this and saw several language codes there that I could only find in "search_body.html" phpbbgallery/core/styles/prosilver/template/gallery/search_body.html. For example, when using the Gallery, I can't see the text for L_SEARCH_ALBUMS_EXPLAIN

Code: Select all

	'SEARCH_ALBUMS_EXPLAIN'             => 'Select the album or albums you wish to search in. Subalbums are searched automatically if you do not disable “search subalbums“ below.',
anywhere.
What could be the reason for this or where should I see the text for L_SEARCH_ALBUMS_EXPLAIN

Code: Select all

	'SEARCH_ALBUMS_EXPLAIN'             => 'Select the album or albums you wish to search in. Subalbums are searched automatically if you do not disable “search subalbums“ below.',
when using the gallery?
