[2.11] Help bug?
 
Basically, it appears if you update the help with the "get updates" button, it creates duplicates.



If you click on the second, it takes you to the first, etc. As far as I can tell this only occurs when you SEARCH, though I had to perform a few searches to confirm this. (Don't search for "trigger" it pushes out so many results it isn't immediately clear.)

I'm not sure if this is intended in design or not. I can't say if this happens BEFORE you get updates, as I've not tested it yet. (Maybe someone else can verify this?)

Yes, Search can return duplicates. This was mentioned on one of the other threads when I improved the SQL for the search function so that it returned the results in a better order. With the current SQLite 2.8 version, I cannot easily remove the duplicates. It doesn't have anything to do with getting updates I don't think. It only happens when you search.

What it's doing is first searching for an exact match to what you type (condition in this case), then is displays topics that have the string in the title, and then it displays topics that have the string in the body.

Good to know. It never actually occured to me. I just noticed it after toying around with "get updates", so I couldn't check if it did that before.

Thanks for explaining.
