art appears multiple times in search
Thursday, May 17, 2018 - 03:12
I noticed that sometimes art appears multiple times on different pages when searching.
It seems to happen most when sorting by favorites.
Here an example I tried: I searched art tagged with "fantasy" in the category 2d art, then I set sorting to favorites.
I went to the last page, went through some previous pages and noticed that sometimes the same submission appears again on another page.
Unable to replicate the issue with the given instructions. Went through to page 10 without seeing any obvioius duplicates: https://opengameart.org/art-search-advanced?field_art_tags_tid=Fantasy&f...
However, when I hit 'last' then 'previous' to go to the page before the last one, I did notice some listings showed up on both the last and 2nd-to-last page, but I believe this is because the last page doesn't have enough items to fill the full page, so there is some overlap between the two. Are you seeing duplicate listings beyond this? If so, can you proivde a URL containing the parameters (like the one above)?
--Medicine Stormwhen searching for 2d art tagged as fantasy:
on both pages 30 and 29 I can see these:
giant mushroom red and pixel art femur
After waiting a few minutes - when checking it again - I noticed that these items were at another position.
Edit: I checked some other pages - 28 and 27.
I made some screenshots and marked art red when seen on both sites
Ah, I see them. Thanks. I'll investigate.
--Medicine StormI have an extreme case of this: I clicked Browse > 2D Art.
Then in the search I typed "Sci fi"
I get the same piece of art appearing hundreds of times.
I'm using Firefox in case that makes a difference.
EDIT: I have narrowed down the bug: It happens when your search term has a space in it.
For example search for "scifi" is fine, but "sci fi" is bugged. Seems to happen for any search with a space.
EDIT 2: Also it only happens when using the search box on the left, after choosing Browse > 2D.
If you search using the search box in the top right of the main page then everything works fine.
