How to report bugs

If you notice a bug in websearch rendering, or other bad results, you may want to report it.

Here are the steps we would like you to take:

  • Try to see whether the problem / bug is reproducible. Does it happen every time ?
  • If it does, of if it appears to be a recurrent problem, please try our experimental node and see if you can reproduce the bug there. If not, it has probably been fixed already.
  • If yes, check out the opened tickets.
  • If you can't find your problem there, please add it to the list or report it directly to us.
  • When reporting your problem, be sure to include a copy of the output of the configure script, and a copy of the seeks output when the problem occurs.
  • You have a crash you can reproduce ? You can help us by reporting it after a little more work:

in your terminal do

ulimit -c unlimited

the line above allows core dumps to be written on your file system. Then reproduce the crash. Then do

libtool --mode=execute gdb -c core seeks

If 'core' is not the name of the coredump file, replace accordingly. Then once in gdb do

bt

Paste the trace somewhere, and report it to us. Thanks!
