Pathway search does not recognise some search keywords which are in pathway titles #22

I was concretely searching for terms like: "22q11.2" or "3q29" -> those pathways are in the new website, in the rare disease community but I get "no result" in the search "distal" -> gives me 4 pathways as a result, but not https://www.wikipathways.org/pathways/WP4950.html "16p11.2 distal deletion syndrome"

I can confirm the observation. It seems that WP4950 is not indexed (yet). @AlexanderPico, what does the Google dashboard say about how much is indexed now?

AlexanderPico commented 1 year ago

We lost a lot of previously indexed content when switching from "new" to "www". Approximately half the pathways are indexed today. That number was much higher before the switch and should start going up soon after our legitimate redirects are reviewed.

It's probably not worth anyone's time to test search until the reindexing is complete?

yes, tempted to agree. thanks for checking the state. Knowing about half is done we can explain to our users. We can evaluate the situation after a few months. Because if people have to wait weeks for their edits show up in search results, this may affect how they think about making edits (thinking out loud; right now, I'd guess this risk is only minor).

Both of these queries work now after Alex implemented a new search tool. Here's one of them: https://www.wikipathways.org/search.html?query=22q11.2.
