Search for phrase doesn't work properly


Question

Posted

Tried searching for the phrase "good for metal". I initially put the words in without quotes and was prompted to search for the phrase "good for metal", which I clicked on, and the search string was then enclosed in quotes.

 

However, as well as returning the properly matched phrase, I also got plenty of results which were just "good" and "metal" (with "for" presumably being somewhere in the text that doesn't get displayed in the search results). So the phrase search looks as if it just searches for good AND for AND metal, not the actual phrase.

Search has most definitely been broken by a recent update to the forum software. 

 

I've just done a search for "PRS". as well as PRS it also brings up results for PR and words starting with "pr" that have an s in them.

 

This needs to get fixed ASAP, because I have been able to do a search for "PRS" in the past and only get results with the actual combination of letters PRS.
