Pretty cool.
Search function isn't working correctly, or doesn't work as before.
I typed in a term and the author name and was told no post match the query.
Also when I searched posts by a particular author the returns were not from author only.
Froderik:
Hey, I'm easy. ::cheers::
I'm curious though.. How exactly does this format filter SPAM?
I noticed that anons can still start topics..
Antigen:
The spam filtering software I wanted to use wouldn't run with the old db and other server software. So I had to upgrade everything.
Deb, I'll look into the search function.
Anything else, kids?

Can you give me an example of that? I do want to get in sometime pretty soon and add phrase searching. Since you use the search function so much, I'll be wanting your help and consult on that.

If you select "Display results as: Topics" when making your search, it will return a listing of all matching threads that author has posted to. If you select "Display results as: Posts" it will show only the individual messages.
There also seems to be a little bug in the topic search. For instance, if you search for all topics by Eudora, containing the term "Straight", and you then go to page 53 of the results (using the link at the bottom of the search results page), you get a blank page. It thinks there's 53 pages of matching results, but really there's only 52. If you make your search selecting "Display results as: Posts" instead, that doesn't appear to happen. This is probably an inconsistency in the database, but may be a bug in phpBB itlself. I'll look into it, and if I can determine it's a software bug, I'll file a report with the phpBB developers.
As far as the inaccurate results, I haven't been able to duplicate that, but if you can provide a specific example, I'll look into that too.
