Some packages not showing up when searching by name #326

Closed ewdurbin closed 8 years ago

ewdurbin commented 9 years ago

Originally reported by: MattDMo (Bitbucket: MattDMo, GitHub: MattDMo)

Some packages are not showing up in the search results, even though entering the URL directly works. For example:

Search: pandas

Direct: pandas

Search: patsy

Direct: patsy

Search: pytz

Direct: pytz

Search: prettytable

Direct: prettytable

Search: alabaster

Direct: alabaster

Search: blaze

Direct: blaze

Search: bottleneck

Direct: bottleneck

Search: biopython

Direct: biopython

Search: cherrypy

Direct: cherrypy

Search: django

Direct: django

Search: ipython

Direct: ipython

Search: mahotas (redirects to SeedWaterSegmenter)

Direct: mahotas

And there are many more. I can't find any rhyme or reason to what is found and what isn't.

Want to advise you that Issue #397 has been raised for the same reason. So, since this is marked as resolved, please put your comments there. Thanks.

Yeah, same problem here. But I get a much more accurate answer from the script I found here:

[Repeated this comment at Issue #397. --Fred]

I hate to pile on, but search is a pretty important function for a package registry! Thanks!

Original comment by Stefano Miccoli (Bitbucket: miccoli, GitHub: miccoli):

PyPI search is thoroughly broken: both web search and pip search return old, outdated, inconsistent results for a lot of packages. E.g.:

#!bash

$ pip search pyownet
pyownet (0.9.0)  - Python OWFS client library (owserver protocol)
  INSTALLED: 0.10.0
  LATEST:    0.9.0

Fortunately pip install installs latest version (0.10.0), but PyPI search is convinced that latest version is 0.9.0: maybe search DB is not updated correctly?

Please re-open. Thanks.

Original comment by Babak Farrokhi (Bitbucket: farrokhi, GitHub: farrokhi):

Seems like almost every new package is suffering from this problem and no one knows what is going on. On a related note, is PyPI dead (from an active-development perspective)?

Same problem with acme-tiny.

Original comment by thomas_haslwanter (Bitbucket: thomas_haslwanter, GitHub: Unknown):

I have the same problem, with thLib: it shows up under "Your packages". But when I try under under "search Package Index", only old, broken links show up. (OK, I really did screw up by breaking those links in the first place. But the point is that the current, working links are NOT found!)

Original comment by anatoly techtonik (Bitbucket: techtonik, GitHub: techtonik):

@lucasrangit looks like all developers who were capable to solve this problem resigned from PyPI maintenance. Feel free to create a new issue.

Dear All, I'm experiencing the same problem with the RTK-handler package. Bug must be Re-open. Thanks.

ewdurbin commented 8 years ago

Original comment by Luca Rebuffi (Bitbucket: lucarebuffi, GitHub: lucarebuffi):

Dear Anatoly, Even if I understand how huge is the contribution of all the developers of Pypi and Python, I don't catch the link with the fact that there is a bug! In my case, I signalled this bug several months ago, and, as I can see, it is still not fixed, and severly compromizing the usability of Pypi. I think it is in the interest of the developers to signal malfunctions, not an emtpy criticism to hard-working people.

ewdurbin commented 8 years ago

Original comment by anatoly techtonik (Bitbucket: techtonik, GitHub: techtonik):

PyPI development is not funded, so all free time that people could allocate for maintenance goes into warehouse.python.org project.

ewdurbin commented 8 years ago

Original comment by Luca Rebuffi (Bitbucket: lucarebuffi, GitHub: lucarebuffi):

This bug is not resolved, my packages with the keyword "oasys" are still non visibile with a search (only a huge list of deleted old versions are visible). Even if I do a direct search with the package name the result is inconsistent. Please fix it, this is a SEVERE problem, compromising the usability of my pip-based self-upgrading application!

Original comment by Jacques de Hooge (Bitbucket: JdeH, GitHub: JdeH):

I am still having the same trouble, has been the case for at least weeks, but probably even months. Keyword search doesn't show my packages Transcrypt (only very old versions are shown, but the results shown are dead links) and Numscrypt (not shown at all). Direct link and pip install both work.

Original comment by theyoungsoul (Bitbucket: theyoungsoul, GitHub: Unknown):

I too am still having the same issue. Please re-open.

The packages I am searching for are: pyalexa-skill and PyParticleIO and neither are found

Original comment by Justin Blake (Bitbucket: blaix, GitHub: blaix):

I was wondering why my tdubs package wasn't showing up via search and assumed at the time it was because it was new. But that was months ago and I just checked and it's still not showing up, and then found this issue. I was surprised to see it was marked resolved. There's definitely still a problem with search.

Same issue for mstranslator-2016. Even an exact string search is not able to find it. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mstranslator-2016/0.0.1

ewdurbin commented 8 years ago

Original comment by Claudio Omar Melendrez Baeza (Bitbucket: kako-nawao, GitHub: kako-nawao):

Yep, I confirm it's still broken since there are several packages we use and can install properly with pip and are not displayed in the search. Search engines (G, DDG) do return the expected results, go figure.

Original comment by Wei Jie Koh (Bitbucket: electionairewb, GitHub: Unknown):

Please re-open this - pip search version-merger doesn't work, even though it's listed in https://pypi.python.org/pypi/version-merger.

ewdurbin commented 8 years ago

Original comment by Joe Smith (Bitbucket: CuppaJoe, GitHub: CuppaJoe):

Yes, searching is still broken and the issue needs to be re-opened. Searching for setuptools returns only versions up to 19.6.2. But clicking on that version and manually editing the URL to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/20.2.2 shows an actual later version.

Also, for each package search results should be sorted with latest version first instead of appearing in random order - in this case 19.1.1, 19.1, 19.4.1, 19.6.2, 19.6.1, 19.2, 19.4, 19.3, 19.5, 19.0, 18.7, 19.6, 18.8, 18.5, 18.8.1, ...

Original comment by Indranil Sinharoy (Bitbucket: indranil_leo, GitHub: Unknown):

Please reopen this issue. I submitted a package (PyZOS) couple of days back. The direct link (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyZOS) works perfectly. It is also listed in the package index at https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=index. However, searching the package from from the pypi website and using pip search pyzos fails.

Searching for kotti_navigation brings no results – https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=kotti_navigation&submit=search However, the package is present at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/kotti_navigation/

Please reopen.

I have the same problem with cvss library. Search for cvss does not list it, neither does pip search cvss. However it can be installed by pip install cvss. It also exists at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cvss .

I am having this problem now, for my package cmocean. I can pip install it, but I can't find it when I search for it on pypi or with pip search cmocean. Direct link works: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cmocean

Original comment by Alessandro Molina (Bitbucket: amol, GitHub: Unknown):

Not totally sure this got solved, it looks to me that when searching by name some packages appear multiple times and some list even releases that do not exist.

See: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=tgapp-calendarevents&submit=search

tgapp-calendarevents appears 3 times and if you click on "tgapp-calendarevents 0.1.6" it leads to a 404 as that release actually doesn't exist.

Looks like the recent outage due to a corrupt DB required a full rebuild, which has fixed the problem for me.

Original comment by MusiKernel Team (Bitbucket: j3ffhubb, GitHub: j3ffhubb):

The problem is partially fixed since yesterday, searching now works, but it shows 1.0.2 as the latest version instead of 1.1.0 (both versions were supposed to be visible). I tried to manually hide 1.0.2 and the settings reverted back to "Hide":"No" for both 1.1.0 and 1.0.2 after the page refreshed.

pip search simplecf ... simplecf - Templating system for AWS Cloudformation INSTALLED: 1.1.0 LATEST: 1.0.2

For what it's worth, nltk does show up in the package index:
