@prabau thoughts? |
The fact "cantor space" doesn't show up first for "cantor" is addressed here: #178 |
The search filtering both by formula and by text does not work as expected. When searching for compact spaces related to "Cantor", one get things like S19, S20, which are compact but have nothing to do with "Cantor", even with fuzzy matching. It seems that there is a flaw in the algorithm here. Even searching for "cantor" without specifying properties returns spaces like Euclidean real numbers, Irrational numbers, Altered long ray, etc that have nothing to do with "cantor", 43 spaces in total. Ordering the results by closest match when searching by text does not seem a bad idea, but the problem above is much more serious and should be looked at. Compare also with the search from the Spaces page: |
As for displaying the alias for spaces, would that apply only when filtering by text (with or without also filtering by formula)? Another thing that the sample screenshot above points to is the inadequacy of many of the current aliases. I think it would be beneficial to discuss in general terms how to improve the aliases, and also the search issue above. A good topic for next zoom meeting. |
I thought about this, but I still think that if we have relegated the name of a space to an alias that a user expects, it's still good to have it handy so they can quickly find a space they are familiar with, even if we use a different canonical name than they are used to.
Absolutely agreed - if we're going to display aliases this prominantly, we should also clean up some less-useful ones. I like discussing this next month. |
Maybe. Although when you filter only by formula, you are interested in just a list of spaces matching the criteria. Then the user can just click on things that look interesting and they will find more detail of each space if they want to. It does not matter that the name is not the one they are used to. After drilling down, they will find more details. Anyway, we can discuss further in the zoom meeting. |
