Sigart Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 Some of the warnings are impossible to include or exclude in a search, such a d/s, n/c, and others with a slash, and it makes it difficult to search for specific types of stories or avoid some. I can understand that you cannot change the way the search engine works, however is it possible to change such warnings in a way that they will not interfere with searching? Unless the My SQL Bolean search mode does this, in which case... please post a link so those of us uninitated knows what it means... Also, wouldn't it be prudent to post a directory to the warnings outside of the author panel, so guests will have a fair chance of knowing what they get themselves into? Quote
DemonGoddess Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 There should be a link with the warnings. If not, I'll have to see about getting that fixed. As to the search engine, there is an upgrade we have planned FOR the search, which is an entirely different engine that is designed to work with a large database. In fact, the thing will not work with a database that is less than 500MB in size, or in the case of a forum, a forum with less than 2,000 members. Kind of depends on the application. In any case, this particular engine is, as I said, designed to work with large datasets. So once we have that in place, it'll be much easier to find stuff. I'll have to check and see if we can do that sooner rather than later, as well. Quote

The thing is that a standard seach engine mechanism is to use the slash as 'or' so if you search for something like 'd/s' the engine will search for entries containing d or s and as those a pretty common letters... Well, I'm sure you see the problem. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 sure do, and can see about getting that addressed as well Quote
