Which type of search is being performed by SmartSearch

There are different search types that you can perform with the Koders as per: http://www.koders.com/corp/support/code-search/getting-started/

Can you please explain which search approach is employed by SmartSearch.

Is there plans for SmartSearch to be extended so that it gives search hints when typing the body of a method?

Thanks

Another issue: the ide plugin has an option to make the search mode “Strict” but this doesn’t appear to have any influence over the hits that are returned. What’s the story here? Thanks Christian

The Strict vs. Broad setting in the IDE plugins does not currently affect the results, but it may in the future. In the next release, this will either be made functional or removed.

Currently there are no plans to extend SmartSearch such that it will give hints while typing in the body of a method. If this option were made available it would have to be configurable as I think it may be too distracting and/or negatively impact performance. Although it is not on our current roadmap, we will be watching the forums very closely and consider any features that are in high demand. So influence your friends to use the product and post :-)

As per my post in pro edition:

“It seems intutive to me that the ide plugin search modes should perform a literal search when in ‘Strict’ mode, and to perform a Camel/Pascal extended search in ‘Broad’ search mode.”

So for example if I typed DataSet(), a “Strict” mode search would return hits for code symbols that contain the literal “dataset”. A “Broad” mode search would perform the extended Camel/Pascal case search to also search for the words “data” and “set”

It would be quite disapointing if this configuration option were to be removed.
