search ignores query semantics and project filter #546

Description

@malkovro

Summary

basecamp search appears to ignore both the query semantics and the --project filter in basecamp 0.7.2.

Environment

  • basecamp version 0.7.2

Commands

basecamp search "<rare-technical-string-1>" --account <account-id> --project <project-id> --limit 5 --sort created_at -m
basecamp search "<rare-technical-string-2>" --account <account-id> --project <project-id> --limit 5 --sort created_at -m

Observed

Both searches returned the same unrelated top results (recent comments/chat lines/todos with no obvious relation to either exact string).

I also compared with and without the project filter:

basecamp search "<rare-technical-string-1>" --account <account-id> --project <project-id> --limit 5 --sort created_at -m
basecamp search "<rare-technical-string-1>" --account <account-id> --limit 5 --sort created_at -m

The top 5 results were identical in content/order, which makes it look like --project is ignored here.

I also got this from:

basecamp search metadata --account <account-id> -m

Output:

Error: Search metadata not available
Hint: No projects available for search filtering

Expected

  • Query terms should materially constrain results, especially for exact/rare technical strings.
  • --project should scope results to the requested project.
