Dear Users,
We are thrilled to announce a major upgrade to the search function on pickful.ai! This update is designed to boost your search efficiency and accuracy, making it easier for you to explore knowledge, discover content, and connect with the community. Below are the detailed updates and a usage guide to help you make the most of this new feature.
Key Update Highlights
- Cross-Model Fuzzy Search Support
- The search function now supports fuzzy searching across multiple models (including posts, users, coins, and tags). Simply enter a keyword, and the system will intelligently match relevant content.
- Prefix matching has been optimized, allowing you to find records starting with letters like "a" or "bt" (e.g., "apple" or "BTC") without typing the full term.
- Field Weight Optimization
- We’ve introduced a custom weighting mechanism for different fields to ensure search results align with your needs. For example:
- In the Coin model, symbol (e.g., "BTC") has the highest weight (A), followed by name and coin_name (B and C), with description having the lowest weight (D).
- In the Post model, title has the highest priority, followed by summary and author, with body having the lowest weight.
- This design ensures that matches in key fields (like titles or symbols) rank higher in results.
- We’ve introduced a custom weighting mechanism for different fields to ensure search results align with your needs. For example:
- Real-Time Suggestions and Multilingual Support
- The search input now features real-time suggestions, dynamically displaying relevant recommendations for users, coins, and more, with a maximum of 10 results.
- Support for Simplified Chinese (cn) and Traditional Chinese (tw) interfaces is now available.
- Enhanced UI and Responsive Design
- The search input box now includes a distinctive 🔍 icon for added visual appeal.
- The suggestions panel’s maximum height is set to screen height minus 100px, and its maximum width is screen width minus 20px, ensuring a clean layout across devices.
- The input field length has been increased, with right-aligned optimization and a small buffer space to prevent page compression.
- Performance and Stability Improvements
- PostgreSQL full-text search configuration has been optimized with the simple dictionary for short-word matching and prefix: true for enhanced fuzzy search capabilities.
- The index rebuilding mechanism ensures data consistency, significantly improving search response times.
Usage Guide
- Getting Started:
- Visit beta.pickful.ai and enter keywords in the search bar.
- Switch languages: Use URL parameters (e.g., /zh-CN/ or /zh-TW/) or adjust the default language in settings.
- Search Tips:
- Enter partial keywords (e.g., "b") to trigger suggestions, with priority given to high-weight fields.
- Use full terms (e.g., "BTC") for precise results, enhanced by the weighting mechanism.
- Viewing Suggestions:
- As you type, the suggestions panel will pop up, displaying user and coin categories. Click an item to fill the input box.
- Mobile Experience:
- The page is optimized for mobile screens, preventing unwanted zooming when focusing on the input field.
Known Issues and Improvements
- We will continue to enhance the multisearch function to improve the fuzzy search experience.
