We’re very grateful to Abhijeet and Kaly from MakeUseOf.com for their nice review of our application Wikiwix on their excellent website. They write that Wikiwix is the “Ultimate Wikipedia Search Engine”. Isn’t that cool!?
(let’s just note that Wikiwix allows searches in all Wikipedia languages, that is around 253 languages)
Again thank you very, very, very much to MakeUseOf.com!

Bonjour,
Sorry I cannot speak French.
I am so happy that I now have Okawix and the Wikipedia on my local hard drive!
Can someone help me?
I’m wondering if I am using the search engine incorrectly. It seems to be limited to 25 results, which often does not find the article I am searching for.
I tried editing one of the Okawix .INI files that appears to limit the search results to 25 results, but it did not work.
I checked the Okawix entries in the Registry, but I did not see anything there.
For example, today I was going crazy trying to find the “Club of Rome” entry, but I could not. Quotes on search terms seem to have no effect. Boolean searches seem not to work. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Best regards,
Perry

Sorry, it was not an .INI file.
It was the
\Okawix\defaults\preferences\okawix-prefs.js
and I tried to change the 25 in the following to 50, but it did not work:
pref(”results.limit”,25);
How can I change the number of search results?
Thank you,
Perry

@perry > There’s a bug in the search component that prevent you from setting the number of search results to something higher than 25, you can set it up to something lower though. I opened a bug report about it: https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/okawix/ticket/17 and will try to fix it soon.
