You wouldn't happen to have an easy way to implement that, would you? My PHP knowledge is somewhat lacking

Hehe, I was hoping for something a bit more cut and paste as well. I was hoping to not have to familiarize myself with the search code since I managed to avoid it the first time around

It's been one of those things we get a user complaining about every so often that I've intended on fixing at some point but just haven't gotten to, and still don't really have the time to, but keeps getting brought up..

I changed the minimum search word length to 3 in sphinx.conf, but searches for 3 letter words still return no results (I rebuilt all the search indices)

Is there something else that will need to be changed to make this work?

You also need to change the limit in the admin panel.

I did that on my forum. I'll try to find the relevant code and post it here for ya. It was pretty easy IIRC.

Thanks Jason, that would be appreciated. I have had my hands full with other projects and haven't had time to go digging either.

I'd really appreciate that code as well.

On another note, does anyone know if I can use Sphinx to power the similar threads search in vBulletin or will I still need to use the default engine for that. Any pointers here would be much appreciated.

Orban, the template you have on your site:

is this one?

If you made any changes, please post them. Thanks.

Hello!

does anyone have a correct patch for search.php on a vbulletin 3.5?
what to add / replace etc.

[orban]

See below. Easier.

doopz: You can probably apply to changes I've made down there easily to vB 3.5.
