Zohan 1 Posted February 3, 2012 Searching on this forum is really bad....numorous times I have searched for something only to have it come back with no results found. I have then seen the exact phrase I searched for in threads. I went so far as to coy from a thread and paste into search and still comes back with no results...

Soundy 1 Posted February 3, 2012 Try it with "Search for any terms" selected instead of "Search for all terms" and you get this: Must be something with the way it's parsing the hyphen; with an "any" search, it's finding the two terms separately. Looks like it's seeing the hyphen as a Boolean operator: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zohan 1 Posted February 3, 2012 Ah-Ha! I will give that a try..didnt even see the 'search' next to control panel because i've always just typed into the search box on top right..... What a tool... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted February 3, 2012 It is a bit of an oddity... Boolean operators are usually less-common characters, like | for OR, & for AND... a ! before a term would normally be NOT, but in this case they're using the -. It would seem to make sense that they should at least look for a space in front of it, specifically to deal with hyphenated words. Maybe I'll check with the phpBB forums and see if there's a patch to deal with this. BTW, if you're familiar with Boolean phrasing, you should be able to customize your searches, even from the dropdown box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
