J33f Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I've noticed this time and time again with the search function in IPB and I'm wondering what in the world the code is actually doing when you punch something into the search function. I come to your forum, looking for a specific mod. So I type in "Dice" because I'm looking for a Dice Rolling mod and it brings up like 8 pages worth of stuff, of which 3 posts are dedicated to old mods and the rest don't make any sense, lol. What exactly does the software do when you plug something like that in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heineken Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 ASFAIK it searches for each word not as a string perhaps wrapping it in quotes or boolean query would be more precise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimi Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 IPS acknowledges that they have a terrible search system and they plan to completely revamp it in ICS 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J33f Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 ASFAIK it searches for each word not as a string perhaps wrapping it in quotes or boolean query would be more precise? While I understand what you're saying, putting quotations around the word "Dice" seems a bit redundant, seeing as the Search query has NOTHING else to search for, but Dice. Lol.
