any solutions ?

After installing, I ran
python main.py --index update
and got

Exception: settings.INCLUDE_FILE_SUFFIX must be a tuple or None, found: <type 'list'>

is it known issue?
Thanks

Currently, you can only search for nearly-exact string matches. For example, if I have a file with the string veryLongString, and I search verylong, it will show up as if there are no results. Only if I search for veryLongString will any results show up.

I've got a bunch of git repositories, and I'd like to set up a code search engine to, well, search them. Text Sherlock looks like a good candidate, but unfortunately I can't figure out how to exclude the .git folder from the index - as it's slowing everything down and cluttering the search results.

Provide option to skip indexing if performing the index would wipe out an existing index, because the directory is now empty.

During main.py --index update got error:

Change the INDEX_PATH setting to a tuple/list to allow multiple paths to be used.

the indexer fails to start indexing (i guess the peewee API changed a bit). Here's a patch that resolves this issue:

i removed the .major ect because it's new in python 2.7. I tested it on python 2.6 and it doesn't have that named access.

right now i can't figure how to force sherlock to index recursively (the setting is set to True of course ;)) but i hope i'll able to figure that out.

best regards,
toudi.

After I "Copy example.local_settings.yml to local_settings.yml" and run "python main.py --index rebuild",
it seems that no file indexed:

Indexing done.

I searched "stringBuffer" in sherlock and got nothing, which contains in the file of tests/text/example.c

Features overview:

• Search results should provide the file and page (if avail).
• User should be able to open or download the file from the search results
• organize docs by projects or folders
• manage indexed files via a backend web interface
• store username (if available) for any changes

Add line numbers to search results. Also clicking a line should take you to the line or context of the result.

Line numbering example ref:

Hi good people,

I've setup a sherlock instance on a quite large codebase at [1]. The indexes took several days to build, it worked well, but now the interface is so slow that it can hardly be used [2].

Is it considered normal, or can I do anything to improve the speed of the UI? Is it just the host's perfs (vm with 8 procs and 16GB of RAM)?

I could not find anything about perfs on the wiki, and cannot find a mailing list to ask questions on. Hence this information request. Thanks in advance, have a wonderful end of year! :-)

In addition to being able to provide a delimited list of line numbers, a nice feature would be to allow those delimited values to allow for ranges of line numbers to be selected instead of just individual lines.

For example:

...&hl=5,6,7,8,9,11,13,14,15

Could be re-written with ranges like this:

...&hl=5-9,11,13-15

• Place the search times in the log

Turns out I had to do the following:

cd setup
sh virtualenv-setup.sh

because the script depends on the current directory being the setup directory, and the shell script isn't executable.

This will help the transition to pypi, by adding a --config option

How i can resolve this problem ?

Encase someone runs the scripts as root or another user, check the permissions when starting to prevent errors from confusing users during the setup process.

It would be nice if there were the ability to also browse the indexed source tree.
