UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums General Off Topic Search Function

Hate to say it but the search funtion for 7.1 really sucks I have nothing but troubles with this . The older version that I was running 3.0 was a ton better. Even If I modify day week month year ,change how many letters that is allowed it still does not work. The money I spent for the upgrade means nothing if I can't use the search.

Somebody needs to fix this .

Can you explain a bit more? I searched for the word "test" and all I changed was the date range, to the last "4 weeks" and I got 8 pages of results.

Try the letters APPS. Or even KYB.

APPS, using 8 weeks, gives me 2 pages of results. Currently, 3 character words are a limitation on how MySQL is configured in it's fulltext indexing. By default this is limited to only 4 character words or more.

For 7.2, I'll be adding in an option to use the old search engine for those that need to search for things less than 4 characters on systems where MySQL is only configured for 4 or more.

Is there any way to disable the date function ?

Anybody?

You'd need to alter the search template to remove the dropdown and then pass a hidden variable for the date range that you want/need. One thing to note, the daterange is left in place so your searches don't hammer your database. The wider range you set for the default the more load this will place on your server when searches are performed.

Our search results are being limited to 202 hits. What is creating this threshold and how do I remove it?
