Is there a way to search for an exact string in the User Guide? I have tried putting the string in single quotes and double quotes, but it seems the search engine splits up the string in separate words anyway.
Example (the v6.3 docs https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.3/user/index.html): search for "Create a Private URL". I get 8 hits, but most of them do not contain the full string.
I am now search the source code for the docs as a workaround.
Thanks,
Jan.
Another workaround is to search the PDF at http://preview.guides.gdcc.io/_/downloads/en/develop/pdf/
It's linked from https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.3/versions.html , for example, but please keep in mind that the PDF is always the latest version (6.6 as of this writing).
What kind of index is backing the search? Is this code open source and if so where can I find it?
It's client-side JavaScript. Yes, it's open source. There's talk of improving it here: https://github.com/orgs/sphinx-doc/discussions/13222
