[AI-320] Add the option/ability to index URLs, to allow the URL text to be searched.
Hi all
Could somebody at Atlassian give me an update on that?
Thanks a lot! Stefan
This should be a Bug, not an Improvement. Why? Because it probably worked just fine before Atlassian eschewed all sensibility and chunked the markdown-like storage format.
Here's an example:
Here you see I've added a page containing a pasted link and a typed-in hostname. The pasted link was automagically upgraded to a clickable anchor by the Confluence rich text editor.
I then ran the search indexer manually to be sure all content was indexed:
Then I searched for lucene.apache.org, which yielded one result:
But when I search for www.google.com, I get no results:
There is not a piece of content management software on Earth in which this type of search behavior is acceptable.
Question: is this issue to be located on Lucene-index or Confluence-implementation?
