Bug: Searchs too Many Directories

Search.pm searches directories that start with . and _.

Test case

• Create data/.session
• Create data/_default if not already there
• Turn on logging in Search.pm by uncomment debug call in _traceExec sub
• Do a search on all Webs
• Look in debug.txt to see these directories being searched.

Fix record

Just need to change last grep that forms @webList to:

grep { ! /^[._]/ }

We found something similar when we were building our IIS IndexServer based search. Our solution was to move some items around:

I don't know whether you consider session files to be data or not. Perhaps the solution is to move /twiki/data/<WebNames> to /twiki/data/webs/<WebNames> ?

Fix Record

The change in Search.pm is already in TWikiAlphaRelease.
