Search feature

[Keiser]

I tried to do a search for EQ. It said the search word had to be 3 or more characters in length. Someone (the web developer) needs to fix this.

[bigjim33]

you could always type eq, cycle...........i am sure that would suffice for your goals

I tried searching for busty midget porn, but it told me there wasn't anything. Worthless search engine.

[Keiser]

not if the word cycle wasn't in a thread, especially if I searched by topic......

i'm a perfectionist and i'm not happy about this

Add asterisks (*) to use wild cards in your search
eq will not work
eq* will

Good point, but that won't really work either if you wanna be specific. Typing eq* tells the search engine to look for any word starting with eq and the * means anything following it. This search would return equipoise, eql, equipped, etc....

If you wanted to find something that just said eq by itself, then this search wouldn't work.

Turning the word search down to 2 characters is not an option.

That's a hell of a SQL search and I don't want the board to run slow for 10min every time someone does a search.

I agree, it's inconvienient tho..

You could type in equipoise....with or without the *

Not a bad thought, but Vbulletin uses PHP and MySQL. MySQL is quite a bit different than SQL. Its smaller, more compact, more efficient, and way fast.

Watch and see what you come up with...

I believe that may do the trick! Good job.

So it's still just a crippled(streamlined whatever) version of SQL.

Any way you look at it, the database is going to get huge and this would take up alot of processor time. This board is super fast right now, but as the members and database grow in size I'm sure we'll start seeing slowdows as it is. Throw is 2 character word searches and we all might as well go back to dialup.

As bad as I don't want to say this: I agree.
