Story in search results but not on author page

Jason Samson 🚫
Updated:

So I've taken to "searching by interesting word"(tm) to find new stories. One word I'm using is "castaway".

When I go down the search results I expand the story info of each hit. And although I've seen reports of people having problems with story info, it's currently working for me(tm)

The story https://storiesonline.net/s/43081/castaways-in-paradise is listed in the search results. However, when I try and expand the story info, it says "error! Story not found"

Interest piqued, I follow the link and see lots of chapters etc. but again, I can't expand the story into.

So I click on the author page, and castaway isn't listed there!

So, I can find and read a story that has no info and isn't listed on the authors page? I also can't get an ePub etc.

I see it does have story info when I list my reading history, though. Yuck! Not a story I would have clicked on from the tags.

I suggest you check you story exception setting as you may have it set to exclude one of the tags of - Ma/ft, gi, Consensual, Romantic, Pedophilia, Lolita, Heterosexual, Incest, Mother, Son, Father, Daughter, Harem, First, Masturbation, Petting, Squirting, Lactation, Pregnancy which the story has.

Doubtless I want it excluded from my search results.

But it is showing up anyhow.

Bug.

Some stories are filtered out by access level, and to do this filtering, stories have a filtered/not-filtered flag.

The text search function uses a separate server software that is tailored to search text documents and doesn't support meta data or the filtering flag.

I need to redesign the text search function, but for now this bug will have to remain.

I don't know what software you use for the text search but after you have the results back from the search, and before you display them, it wouldn't be rocket science to filter them in app code or even client code.

The point of the exclusion tags is stop the stories showing in eg search. That an excluded story shows in search results but the user can't see the tags so doesn't know they shouldn't click on it is even worse than showing the tags!
