Search box searches wrong site

20 Nov 2014, 15:30

A query typed into the Search Box on seemingly any page of ahkscript.org returns only results from autohotkey.com.

It's especially peculiar since Google (which provides the search) displays the ahkscript.org logo at the top of the Search Results Page.

It's been this way for months. (I was unable to post before this because I couldn't seem to create an account.) Occasionally in the past queries entered on particular ahkscript.org pages would yield ahkscript.org results.

Thank you, btw, all you folks for soldiering on with this fine language and site ... in the face of trying circumstances.

Hi, you are right... but, it is because, it is for all ahk websites... so I had included results from both ahkscript and autohotkey.com
If you want to exclude the autohotkey.com results just add this to your search query : site:ahkscript.org
if go to the last pages, it will probably be results from ahkscript.... because of course, autohotkey.com has been around for a much longer time... ;)

Cheers,

My search hotkey automatically adds -site:www.autohotkey.com/docs to exclude the outdated docs. Perhaps it's wise and possible to exclude those by default.

Ok hmmm you may be right... I'll see to it...
Anyway, if you click the docs tab you get the AhkScript docs.

OK, I have deleted the "Legacy Documentation" tab and excluded all results from autohotkey.com/docs/*

GeekBot runs a search for site:ahkscript.org/boards/ OR site:autohotkey.com/board/ to search both forums, and disregard the docs

Using the site's SEARCH function ... once again includes, and seems to prioritize, the old autohotkey.com site.

Also, I am the original BillyBender poster of this thread ... but I am unable log in ... And if I use the "forgot password" link ... the site reports no such email address. If I go back to the old "activation key" mail and click the activation link, I get:
The activation key you supplied does not match any in the database.

Using "guest" as a login tells me that the user name is already in use ...

Oops ... I should have said that my search complaint applied to the "All Results" and the "Forums" tabs that are now created by the "Google Custom Search". The "Documentation" tab happily goes to ahk.org. Somebody should also look at how the "User Sites" tab decides what to include. A lot on not-applicable stuff there, too.

I added user sites in there for archival reasons...
