Thanks

It's ajax-enabled to catch keywords, and I didn't get round to sorting out how to get the vb ajax code working with text inputs rather than boxes. One of those things that I may sort out - I agree with you...

There are two search mechanisms built into LDM, which use the alternative LIKE and FULLTEXT features in SQL. By default, it uses fulltext, which is generally faster and more powerful, but has some strange restrictions built in when the server is configured. One is to ignore short and common words.

You can go to the ldm/admin and switch over to using LIKE searches, which for your site should be fine.
