How search works?

If I was to describe how search works, from my observed behavior, I would say:

Enter the text you are looking for and the search function will find and list all topics that have that text.

Is this correct or am I missing something? I am documenting this for users and just want to be sure I am telling them exactly how it works.

Hello Rob,

at the moment: Yes. But there are some limitations:

  • At the moment the search is only checking for the words inside the post-content, not in topic-titles
  • Some keywords are ignored by the search-engine. This is a database-default-behavior. You can find more information about this here.

Thank you!

I will note the distinction between inside the post content and the title. As for DB, yeah, I’m fully aware of this as well but it generally should not be an issue.

As a side note, it would be cool to have search find the search phrase in the title as well but since it is likely that text is also in the body I would consider it a low priority.

I just extended the search-functionality so it also checks the titles of topics for the entered keywords. This will be included in the next update.

Very nice, and appreciated. Do you have an idea as to when the next release will go out? This plugin just keeps getting better and better!

I am not exactly sure yet. At the moment I concentrate on code-cleanup/refactoring and some minor bugfixes/improvements. There is no serious bug at the moment, so I dont plan to release the next update asap.

One thing I want to implement before the next release is a guest-counter for the “Who is Online”-list in the overview-statistics-area because at the moment it only counts logged-in users without taking guests into consideration.
