Lets supose that I have in my db the following link...
title= Banana's
description = cool house with cool color.

when I try to search for banana's+house search shows me "no matching records".

I already put type=phrase and bool=or, but if I do it, search shows me the same message.
If I put only bool=or shows me all the links that have house and banana's.
In fact, I tryed all the combinations and searched in all threads since june... What can I do...??

I wanna search the exact phrase... the engine searchs the exact phrase only if the words that i'm looking for is in the same field, not like I have here...

Thanx...

Domenic has been complaining about this problem for a long time...I think that he or she has come up with a solution with the assistance of oldmoney. You might want to try to search for Topics Domenic has created and contact her or him about the problem.

BTW: + and - signs in searches do NOT work. You have to simply put in keywords separated by spaces.

I tryied to contact him before but with no success... The "+" signal that i put before is just a way that I found to show what I want... I'm not putting it on the search field...

My problem is that links just understand that two words (in search field) are a phrase only if they are in the same field, not in diferent fields as I want....

Could I be clearly now..?? heheheheh

sorry again...
Thanx anyway for your help ELIOT, here, in the forum, you have been very cool with me...

Girus..

Haven't solved this problem, which my initial impression was that it would require a re-write of search.cgi... I will eventually get it though. The logic I'm working on now is not to search against each column, but against a concatenated string of columns... this should work if you don't want to limit searching to just a couple fields.
