h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Entry ID: A18927859 (Edited)

This Entry was not found by either the old or the new search engine, although it was discovered in the alphabetical index...

Got rather carried away there. Meant to suggest:

An Orthodox Christian website says ?

I gave it its full title to be on the safe side..!

Good idea

Do you know who needs to be contacted to make the search-engine/s recognise this Entry?

I've no idea how these things work, I'm afraid - try the Eds?

Perhaps Gnomon gnows...

I typed "Heaven" into the (old) search engine and it appears as the first link. Perhaps it's the hyphen confusing the search engine?

You're right! The new search engine recognises 'Heaven' too. Do you think it can be fixed so that the whole name can be found - not that it matters that much, as most folks would probably use just the first word anyway.

Many h2g2 entries have a hyphen in the name. It's the normal delimiter for added something to the title. But a search engine recognises the hyphen as meaning "only find entries which don't include the word after the hyphen", so searching for the exact title will not find anything.

It would be very unusual for anybody to type the exact title into the search engine. That's not how people do things. So I don't expect any change to the way we title our entries.
