Search wackyness

You can always tell when I have a ton of work to do... my post count per day goes up.

 

I have been wondering about searching on FISD since the upgrade. The search form that appears in the upper right of every page does not seem able to find what I'm looking for. I noticed that its only seems to search on the title. I can search for "elastic" using this form and all the threads that come back have the word "elastic" in the title.

 

For example I know for a fact there's only one post with the word "Jervis" in it. I posted talking about my trip down under.

  • If I put the word "jervis" in upper right search box, no results are returned.
  • If I click on the cog icon and used the advanced search page and seach for "jervis," no results are returned.
  • It isn't only until I use the advanced search and click on the radio button "Display results: As Posts" will my post show up in the results.

I wanted to get a photo recently of the right side snap. Here's what I tried until I found what I was looking for:

  • Using the advanced search form I searched for "right snap," no results
  • Change "Match" to "Search title and content," no results
  • Change "Match to "Only search in content," no results
  • Change "Display results" to "As posts" and boom... a post with the right side snap appears.

I was also wondering if there was a way to turn off the search flood control for logged in users. That way anons can spider and search flood but if you're a valid user you won't need to wait the 20 seconds before searching again.

 

Mahalo nui,
