[LON-CAPA-users] Recommender - Once Again

[Alexis Morris]

Hi Gerd,

    Thank you for the link to the Recommender tool.   I've used it a 
little, and am much happier with it than the old interface for searching 
content.   I must admit that I found the regular interface pretty much 
unusable for the following reasons:

- An overwhelming number of search matches and most of the search 
results were duplicates.
- very unstable... It often happened that after 1 hour of sifting 
through all the matches, the system crashed or froze, forcing me to 
restart.   Even more frustrating was that I couldn't find what I 
previously found due to the server search order being changed.
- Too many lecture notes, even though I specifically searched for 
"problems."

As a result, I gave up trying to import content and found it easier to 
simply construct my own questions.     I'm hoping that the Recommender 
tool will solve these problems.   So far so good!

Best regards,
Alexis
