Forum Search Function

Post by gminder »

Ivo,

I'm wondering if you have a way to tweak the forum software to make the search function more user friendly. Almost anything I search for returns a message saying the search term was too general. "Develop", "wipe", "layer", "heal" etc all return the error. It makes it really hard to use the forums to get info on ST functions.

Thanks Ivo.

You're right - the search was pretty bad (it used to be ok). Apparently that happens as the content grows with a stock PHP BB install. I changed some settings and rebuild the search index.
The experience should be be much better now!
