Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted September 24, 200618 yr This needs to be improved as well. It's mostly the same as 1.3, didn't really change much. IPB search is crappy compared with other boards.Stuff that should be included in the Search Form:- search titles/entire posts- topics containing at least/at most X posts- sort results by:relevancy, title, number of views, thread start date- find posts from:since your last visit, yesterday- find posts from user,posts started by user, threads started by userLastly, the possibility to edit the posts/topics in the "search results" page instead of viewing the topic and clicking on EDIT. This would come in very handy.
September 24, 200618 yr - search titles/entire postsIt's already there. - topics containing at least/at most X postsCould be useful, although I rarely want to find a topic with a certian number of posts. - sort results by:relevancy, title, number of views, thread start dateSceptical about the use for number of views, though yes these could be useful in some situations.- find posts from:since your last visit, yesterdayView new posts?- find posts from user,posts started by user, threads started by userAlready there. Lastly, the possibility to edit the posts/topics in the "search results" page instead of viewing the topic and clicking on EDIT. This would come in very handy.I agree completly. +1.
September 24, 200618 yr Going further on the search results page, it would be very useful if all [or most] moderator features were to be included there--edit/quickedit, delete, multi-select for moderation, as well as showing IP posted from. This would make me very happy. <3
September 24, 200618 yr - search titles/entire postsIt's already there. I don't see an option to select whether to search titles and/or posts.- topics containing at least/at most X postsCould be useful, although I rarely want to find a topic with a certian number of posts. - sort results by:relevancy, title, number of views, thread start dateSceptical about the use for number of views, though yes these could be useful in some situations.- find posts from:since your last visit, yesterdayView new posts?No, additional option in the drop down menu.- find posts from user,posts started by user, threads started by userAlready there. Not on the search form.Lastly, the possibility to edit the posts/topics in the "search results" page instead of viewing the topic and clicking on EDIT. This would come in very handy.I agree completly. +1.
September 24, 200618 yr It only makes sense that all moderator features are included. Really, the search results should be like viewing a topic, but using the same layout as it does at present. :)

September 24, 200618 yr - find posts from:since your last visit, yesterdayWould be nice to see the topics you have replied in, with just one click. Next to "View New Posts".Birger :)
September 24, 200618 yr Maybe a pair of glasses would have helped :PBut seriously, on the search page. It is alot to get used to..Birger :)
September 24, 200618 yr The thing I always found a bit disturbing with invision search is that we can not do a search when a word is less than 4 caracters ... That's a pitty :(
September 24, 200618 yr The thing I always found a bit disturbing with invision search is that we can not do a search when a word is less than 4 caracters ... That's a pitty :(As it has been repeated time and time again: This is a restriction due to the way MySQL fulltext searching is designed. You can, if you want use the simple search function and hammer your server every time someone searches for 'a'.
September 24, 200618 yr Regarding 4 letters as the search cap. With only 3, the search resault with the hugh.Birger :)

You can, if you want use the simple search function and hammer your server every time someone searches for 'a'.I have found that adding a + sign works for 3 letter searches but only when you search for more than 1 term.
August 7, 200717 yr Not really. I've got nothing to add or comment on. You should know by now I don't reply to every suggestion. :)
September 29, 200816 yr I want to be able to set a date range in the search too. The new search page allows you to choose a date range for your search :)
September 29, 200816 yr The new search page allows you to choose a date range for your search :) Much needed. Thanks ;)
September 29, 200816 yr The new search page allows you to choose a date range for your search :) That's great. If topic mutli-moderation ability were added to search results, it'd be awesome. :D
September 29, 200816 yr That's great. If topic mutli-moderation ability were added to search results, it'd be awesome. :D This is something I really wanted to address in 3.0, however with the complexity of the new search system and the fact that content can be pulled in from all sorts of areas, this isn't something that will happen in 3.0 unfortunately. We need to figure out how we can allow multi-moderation when you can have access to gallery, blog, downloads, forums, john doe's awesome uber mod, and so on while still figuring a way to honor permissions and what not. ;)
