It was more than two years ago, in the predictions for 2010 thread that I crossed words with kaakuu over Drupal and unicode text search. I told kaakuu to file a usable bug report -- and to be honest I didn't expect one. Much to my surprise he did participate in an issue and filed an exceptionally useful comment. Eight days later, the fix I written got committed, fixing search for 200 million+ users or who knows how many more were affected. And I learned a lot about Unicode. Why I am writing only now, I do not know but I have told this story over and over and such helpful bug reports are still very rare. Will you file the next one I will talk about for years?
Ps. Yes, I am a little bothered by my own attitude in the forum thread. But at least I fixed the bug.
About Drupal Sun
Drupal Sun is an Evolving Web project. It allows you to:
- Do full-text search on all the articles in Drupal Planet (thanks to Apache Solr)
- Facet based on tags, author, or feed
- Flip through articles quickly (with j/k or arrow keys) to find what you're interested in
- View the entire article text inline, or in the context of the site where it was created
