I have TL+ and I don't particularly like that option :[ I guess it'll have to do, but just searching your name for replies was way easier. I used that a lot.

eg, find all topics by a single user), and being unable to find many results when doing forum specific title searches.
It's the best! I love it. There are SO many times where I can remember the user that created the thread, but not the thread title.

Muhahahahahah you'll never know about this !
Tought it was an interesting point you bring, the only possible downside up to now. Not much harm compared to the advantages, but does not refrain from looking for a solution.

Oh dam, now it's gonna be hard to start a topic with '' Excuse me I did not find a... '''

Exactly. There is no way I could have replied to this right here if I didn't read through the thread again manually. The way it was before was working really well imo. Browsing TL just got harder

Does this mean you can hide a post from search by placing it in quotes? Edit: Answer: Nope.
What do you think this is, amateur hour? R1CH got dis shit yo.
Thanks R1CHie.

When are you getting elected for president?

Small update: Square brackets are now excluded from title searches, eg [GOM] and GOM will produce identical results.

R1CH You're such a boss. Appreciated.

hrm, not being able to find people who have quoted you makes things a bit more complicated. still, well done.

Did this site use SQL Full Text Search prior to this, or SQL LIKE's if you will? It would be quite a feat to have used it for this long with such a website, while not lagging up the DB constantly. When I had to deploy Sphinx SE a couple of times 7 years ago it was for websites with way less docs, and they were in dire need.
|
We used to use MySQL fulltext up until 2010 when I replaced it with incremental Sphinx. It used to kill the server for 30 seconds any time someone did a search .

Update: the same technology has now been applied to private message searching! You can now find messages by contents instead of just the title.
|
Small update: some popular threads were causing filtering issues (eg the random pics thread), these have been fixed so search results should include all matching topics now.
