Talk:Woman in the Dunes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] wiki search
something really needs to be done about the wiki search. i entered "woman in the dunes" into the search tool. i got no results. because i used lowercase letters. but not only did the "GO" button NOT direct me to the article, the SEARCH TOOL doesn't even come up with any hits or results. this is disgraceful. the wiki search is terrible. i've had other similar experiences: sometimes i can't even find a wiki that I'VE ALREADY READ BEFORE because i'm using a slightly slightly wrong title. for example, if you insert a middle name into a subjects first/last name, the search tool won't find it. it's really shameful, for an online encyclopedia.
- Due to the rapidly increasing levels of traffic that Wikipedia attracts, it is sometimes necessary to disable the search tool in order to improve performance. As Wikimedia purchases more computer hardware, this should becoma less of a problem in the near future. Rje 15:25, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Book or Movie
I think the synopsis needs to clarify if it is speaking of the book or movie, because there are plot differences to the two stories. I don't have a clear memory of the story to say with confidence that they entry is correct for both of them.
- The synopsis refers to the movie only, I wrote the section and have not read the book. We should include a further section detailing differences between the two, although obviously I am unable to dothis myself. I changed the section title to make it clear that the synopsis is of the film. Rje 15:25, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
