Search (bug?)
Hi,

I've been testing 2.0.3 and the search either isn't working properly, or (most likely) I haven't got it setup right.

I'm searching for 'guide' and do get some results for both categories and links, but I know there is a link named "TestGuide.com" that doesn't appear in the results!

Is the search case-sensitive? If so, is there a way to turn it off?

All the best
Shaun

Hi Shaun,

I'm a brand new user, so this may or may not help you... sorry if I'm way off here...

Under Admin -> Setup -> Search Options there is the following option:

"Use the indexed search engine or regular search engine. The indexed search engine is quicker on very large databases, however it is only useable if your data can be broken up into words by spaces (i.e. it doesn't work with big5/gd text).
search_indexed... o Indexed o Regular"

I'm not sure how this works, but it looked like it might be relevant to your problem.

Does this help?

Okay, got this one worked out: Setup->Search Options->search_indexed (Regular) - appears to fix the case sensitivity, but does it have any detrimental effect on the speed of searching, etc. or is it just an alternative method of searching?

All the best
Shaun
