The only difference is the sort, but the content that shows is completely different. Both search results are totally incomplete.

Yep as in this is broken and will be fixed, or yep as in modern scum prefer broken crap so this will be left as is?

No rush, just looking for the general direction of SaidIt code. Will bugs eventually be fixed and the code improved (the reactionary choice), or will the code decay and everything just get worse as is standard for modern code?

I was all for decay, but if your new site brings in some fresh faces or some fresh devs, then the sky is the limit. The port to Docker is giving me some hope. I opened a bug for this: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit/issues/104

Appears to be limited to 10 results. The same searches for other users have at most 10 results. Perhaps there is intended to be some paging feature.

By adding &count={number} , i can get a broken "prev" button to show on the page, for n>0 https://saidit.net/s/programming/search?q=author%3Afschmidt&restrict_sr=on&sort=new&t=all&count=1 , but cannot get more than 10 results. Clicking the "prev" button gives an idea to try.

I can add &after=t5_{id} , for some id returned in the search results, and get fewer results, but can't get it to actually show anything not in the original 10 results https://saidit.net/s/programming/search?q=author%3Afschmidt&restrict_sr=on&sort=new&t=all&after=t5_8cdb

In summary, yes, this seems to be broken. The code for Saidit is open source. From a link at the bottom of Saidit: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit .

None of this is new, but since fschmidt blocked me but maybe /u/d3rr can explain it to him.

A common problem. I don't know why there isn't a common library for this, but do what everyone else does: Qwant.com search restricted by site.
