When you do a search the search term is highlighted in yellow. I thought we decided a while back to turn that off. 🙂

Excellent! I liked it and am glad it's back! 🙂

Oh and you can also search and display the messages instead of the topic links... pretty cool imho.

The highlighting works well and i think is a godsend when you display an 80 msg topic and have no idea which message has matching words.

The highlighting is a good thing and so is being able to search the body of the message.

I can do a title search on "USB CARD" but when I try to do a detailed search on it, I get the following message:

Your search contained ignored words, ignored words are words like a,and,to,between.Please re-construct your search without these ignored words.
<< back



By "title search" I mean entering it at the top of the forum. It works there. When I go into search and try the same string it complains. This happens if I pick title only or title + body.

The display messages in the search rocks. A huge time saver. I've used other searches like that elsewhere. Glad we have it now.

NightTrain, I was getting that too. I think your ignored word is the space. If you look at the help for search (that little life preserver image next to the search box) it says this:

To construct a search string you can use the following boolean operators: AND OR AND NOT Example: dog and cat or sheep and not bird
+ The word is mandatory in all rows returned.
- The word cannot appear in any row returned.
* The wildcard, indicating zero or more characters. It can only appear at the end of a word.
" Anything enclosed in the double quotes is taken as a whole (so you can match phrases, for example).

Replace the space with the appropriate operator and you should be good to go.

edit: Try these searches:
beta forums - Error: there are ignored words
"beta forums" - Error: there are ignored words
beta and forums - Lots of search results, anything with both words in it somewhere
beta+forums - Only results of both words together.

The + seems to work thanks 🙂
