Comment on additions to Search v22.0 Beta 1

Dave Hooton

I presume that the additional ways to group results in Books Search is a work in progress

1.The results summary e.g. All Open books .....does not appear initially for Library

2.Use of "results" is overloaded and inconsistent. This needs to be fixed e.g.

> Downloaded Books 6 results, where it is 6 articles (elsewhere 6 results in 6 articles)
> Downloaded Books Results 1-100, when it could be hits or articles

3. In Books > Cloud Books the no. of results does not appear if the section is collapsed (default)

this makes no sense when one is searching explicitly for Cloud resources
there is no summary of results when Library is selected

4. The group names need refining:

Library - really? I thought all group results came from Library. Why not By Sections?
Book - why not By Books? This does not have sections.
None - none what? Why not By Rank?

5. Sort Options

Author, Type and Series should have an option to sort by title

Bump for a response (similar query answered for Beta 3)

Hi Dave,

Does Mark's response answer your question here? --> https://community.logos.com/forums/t/212772.aspx

I'll copy the text but I'll link it above too.

"Within each group, the results are ordered by relevancy. That's the same ordering as in the old Basic search, or which Group By set to None. The only exception is the Book group, where the results are in the order they occur in the text. This matches the behavior in L9.

We have discussed adding a second level of grouping or ordering, and we're keeping an open mind on whether that would be useful."

I'll go through my original comments:

1.The results summary e.g. All Open books .....does not appear initially for Library

Appears to be fixed in Beta 4

2.Use of "results" is overloaded and inconsistent. This needs to be fixed e.g.

> Downloaded Books 6 results, where it is 6 articles (elsewhere 6 results in 6 articles)

> Downloaded Books Results 1-100, when it could be hits or articles

This is in the Library group, which lacks a summary of results and all one sees is Results 1-100. If results are small enough then 6 results would be seen.

3. In Books > Cloud Books the no. of results does not appear if the section is collapsed (default)

this makes no sense when one is searching explicitly for Cloud resources
there is no summary of results when Library is selected

There is a summary in Beta 4, but the remaining comments still stand.

4. The group names need refining:

Library - really? I thought all group results came from Library. Why not By Sections?
Book - why not By Books? This does not have sections.
None - none what? Why not By Rank?

This needs a response.

5. Sort Options

Author, Type and Series should have an option to sort by title

This would be the only query that is answered by Mark. The other 4 still need a response.
