Yeah I have yet to find a better forum solution. And at this point with Threads: 269,003, Posts: 1,588,154, Members: 175,576 I am not going to try and move it. We average like 4,000 users online at once during peaks and alot of that is search traffic.

So cheers orban for finding and sharing this search solution. I was about to implement a google search wrap in the forum template. (ghetto style)

I wish google offered a service to crawl your website in a closed environment for $ and then a search form. Like that google search appliance (?) but as an online service.

Oh well

Shrug yep.. Gee I knew people would complain about three letter searches...

Any thoughts on adding the option to display results as threads/posts?

orban · #66 10-06-2006, 02:05 PM

Well let's have a look:

Search posts and display as threads:

Let's say somebody searches for "book" and returns 150.000 posts. Those 150.000 posts are in 40.000 threads. If you find any way to fetch all 150.000 threadids, sort them and make a unique list of them, then let me know, but I really have no idea how to do that. I also think that this is a major problem of the vB search...(there are queries with several tens of thousands threadids in them).

Search threads and display as posts

I assume that "posts" mean "first posts in a thread"? You can probably add "firstpostid" as a new group for the thread index and then grab those...

Curse vB for adding those options

Gotcha now I understand.. The users will just have to adjust.. Easy as that..

I don't understand anyway what exactly the problem is....

If you are searching in thread titles, then the search returns a list of threads.

If you are searching in posts, then the search returns a list of posts.
