RE: Odd link

Me, erigol and sean had a little discussion on this yesterday. The manual lookup functions use the metaphone() function to add to a list of possible matches to the search (sections having a higher priority over functions then metaphones). Strangely enough, the metaphone for "security" is very similar to "sqrt" (ess-cue-arr-tee). This issue also happens on ca.php.net too. We haven't found a solution yet but maybe it has something to do with the manual-lookup.sqlite database (even though us4 and ca have completely different {modification date + md5} databases)... Or maybe not because au has the same database as ca :/ Matt -----Original Message----- From: Jaime Castells [mailto:Jaime.Castells@attccc.com] Sent: Friday, 8 October 2004 11:48 PM To: 'Gabor Hojtsy' Cc: 'webmaster@php.net' Subject: RE: Odd link Quiteodd produces a page that says "Sorry, quiteodd is not in the manual." I hadn't been aware of this 'intelligent' URL function on the php.net site, but I'm sure you have hit on the root cause of the problem. Rather than linking to the security chapter of the manual, http://us2.php.net/manual/en/security.php, this mechanism decides that I was looking for the documentation of the square root function. Perhaps the logic that came to that conclusion would bear reexamination. Thanks for the clarification!

Well, if you put up a link to http://php.net/quiteodd on a site, which is indexed by google, this link could get into the index. We have some spelling check on the word you use as a quick shortcut [1], so if you misspell a word, it will still find the resource. [1] http://php.net/urlhowto Goba
