Re: [SMW-devel] Real category input

[Yaron K. <ya...@wi...>]

Hi Niklas,

It would be hard indeed, because SF at the moment only supports the
editing of template calls.

I didn't know about the "incategory:" search option until now. That
sounds pretty cool - it's too bad that it (apparently) just checks the
category match via a text search, instead of actually seeing which
pages belong to that category.

Regardless, even if this worked, there would still be the issue that
you can't do something similar with semantic properties, either - you
can't find all pages that have property "A" with value "B", and also
contain the text "C" somewhere. (I know this is possible with the
Enhanced Retrieval extension from SMW+, but, well, let's not get into
that.)

It seems to me that the right solution to this problem is either (a)
have the "incategory" handling fixed so that it does the right check,
or (b) get semantic+regular text search into one interface, maybe by
modifying Semantic Drilldown, or both. (b) is something people have
asked about before - maybe it's worth finally looking into.
