1.1 | 12 | |
| |
12.1 | 13 | == Template Restrictions == |
| 14 | |||
| |
13.5 | 15 | It's now possible to specify visibility restrictions separate from creation restrictions on a template provider and to set default values. See the [[documentation>>extensions:Extension.Administration Application||anchor="HRestrictthespaceswherethetemplateisavailable"]] for more details |

| |
12.1 | 18 | |
| |
13.4 | 19 | == Improved Not Found Screen == |
| |
13.2 | 20 | |
| 21 | Added partial matches for the Document/Attachment Does Not Exist suggestions, in addition to the existing stemmed and fuzzy matches, for better results. | ||
| 22 | |||
| |
13.3 | 23 | We were previously searching using indexed Solr data (stemmed) and also using fuzzy searches (string difference of 2; helps with minor typos), but this did not cover partial matches. Example: "Sandb" is matched by the fuzzy search, since it has a difference of 2 characters ("ox"), but "Sand" is not matched by anything (no stemming and too greater string difference - 3). |
