Save admin time. You don't have to go to ACP to do it. You can do it on front-end.

I've updated this app with confirmed support for IP.Board 4.1 and a few other minor bug fixes.
@Sonya* A fix for the uninstall issue is also included, you'll need to upgrade and then uninstall the latest version.

I am aware of MySQL full text searching restrictions.

I would just suggest 3 things that will make the search feature in this board more usable:

1. Turn off flood control or reduce it significantly for registered customers. They are your potential friends and not enimies :)
2. Makin boolean searching "this +that" by default, as there is no practical approach in searching "apples OR pines". And it is more intuitive as this is default in the major search engines throught the world.
3. Display only topics, not posts by default.

By the way, there is no such option in 'advanced' search form:
"Search titles only" - does not search in the posts body
"Search posts only" - is opposite to what I have suggested.

I am interested in IP.Chat for the community hosted on my own server. Is this solution only for hosted Communities? Can you tell, what is the timeline for the first release?

Hello,

I am trying to solve some issues myself, without troubling support and community. So I try to use search feature in this forum. It is not really usable and often does not make sense:

1. When I am looking for search phrase like "import from coppermine", I get any topic where import OR from OR coppermine appears. I appreciate, especially, search results mathing the single word "from". :)
2. When nothing is found and I try another search phrase I am always have to wait 20 seconds.


Why should I wait, if nothing has been found? Why am I assumed to be a flooder as registered customer on this board?
3. In the search results I would like to have a topic only once and not all the posts from one topic. It is often not enough to read the found post, but the whole topic to understand it. So, I would not like to have all the posts from the already readen topic listed 5 to 10 times in the search results.
4. I would use Google search on this board (as more sophisticated alternative), but the board for customer is set private, so that no Google search is possbile.

Apart of the 4th point the search feature is not user friendly. Not here and not in the customer boards.
