... when I type /faq_list (before there were to many entries, look #5708 ) there is a keyword "book". If I do: /faq book the answer will be: book not found. Possible keywords for book: new library copy book

I think it's related to this entry, for example: Q: How do I publish a book to the Haven library? A: Find the mailbox right outside the public library and throw in your book. Don’t forget to make yourself a copy first!

That's most likely because "copy book" and "purple chest" are compound keywords, that's not so easy to see when everything is just a space character to separate them.

Should we make it like this?

Possible keywords for book: new, library, copy book

Ah, now I understand. There was and is no searchword book, but the searchword copy book. In /faq_list, copy and book were displayed like all other terms. So how could you have guessed that. It's a good thing that this has been cleared up so easily and that there is no vicious circle. The comma solution would certainly help.

However, before there are more compound searchwords, the basic keywords should always be set first. I'll make up for that for the above words in the next few days. However, I don't see such a great need for compound searchwords either. Who is supposed to remember them and then enter them correctly and quickly if the need arises? I won't see it until our FAQ has grown tremendously and has a nice GUI that makes it easier to handle.
