Hi All

Wonder if someone can please help me, I had a request from one of my members about searching our forum what he wants to do is be able to search for a string of text, or a phrase, without having the results show every post that contains just one of the words in that phrase.

He would like to be able to do a search that returns only those threads that contain ALL of those terms, and excludes those that don't, or have the option of extending the search to what is provided now. Along a similar line, it would be great to be able to run a search based on an 'or' function as well, and to have NOT controls as well which would exclude any posts that contain the 'not' terms.

Is this possible, is it a change in the cp maybe or a mod I need to install?

Thank you

Stu

I use Digital Point's Sphinx Search, so I don't know if this works on regular vB search...

But if I type in:
"Sarteck Sucks"
(with quotes) then it searches the entire phrase.

If I type in:
Sarteck Sucks
(without quotes) then it searches posts that contain both words.

I do believe that the regular vB search does not have this... DP's Sphinx Search requires a $25 or so donation to him, but it's been well worth it for me.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
