I always have problem using search. For example if I type in my name I only get one post followed by a list that has nothing to do with my name. If I search fora post using name and another word that I know is in the post,it isn't found but other posts are shown.I'm finding it unusable and have to go to google to search for the post..

Am I alone with this problem? Is this real?

Can you give example search urls ? Also take a look at sam2kb's advanced search plugin.

Sorry maybe I am not clear, I mean searching for posts on this forum. Although I have just found I can find my posts by clicking on the number of posts on My Profile page the forum search doesn't bring them up nor can I find my posts via searching for the content. For instance, ifI search for {amoun variable} I get only five posts out of 55 of mine; as usual the first is mine, the rest are random but not the one where I ask for help finding variable

When we upgrade this forum to b2evo v6, we'll have a brand ne search implementation.

We'll upgrade as soon as it's stable. Should be this month.

If that confirms my experience I wonder how things get found, or is it that it has just been getting worse. I'm sure it used to be a lot better.

Thanks

Well just browsing the forum and came across my old post and things seem the same. If I search for "amoun" i get posts with the word amount not posts with my user name??

I put the word in quotes, in the search input field, thinking that would stop any prefix and suffix but not so?

Even if the search item is " amoun " that's with spaces it still brings up posts with (amount)

I confirm, the search algorithm does not recognize usernames for now.

I moved this up on the todo list.

I just thought that if a search item was surrounded by quotes it would only find that exact match, so though it may not find a user name I thought it shouldn't find a word that contains the search item.

Our search engine doesn't have double quote syntax BUT the search engine will score exact matches much higher than partial matches.

There is no syntax. You type words and the search engine will give priority to exact matches, to more words matches and to recent content.
