Search function of forum gives weird results

[Michael Hartlef]

Hi Eros,

When I search for TBGL_MouseGetWheelDelta I get result that are mouse related but I can't find the text TBGL_MouseGetWheelDelta in them.

I must agree I have a problem with search functionality of the forum as well,

In 50% of cases I do not find what I need, it probably does some preprocessing of the query?

Yes, I have to say I too had similar problems and found the same problems in SMF official forum.
I cannot do much really.

[ErosOlmi]

I've made an inquiry if SMF community forum. Hope to have some tricks or info on how to improve search results precision.

[ErosOlmi]

I've checked search config and found I was using a custom index but at the same time there was a fulltext index present.
I've moved from custom index to fulltext one and removed custom index.

Can you please confirm if search results have improved precision?

Thanks
Eros

Thanks Eros, this is much better now.

[Michael Hartlef]

Is it possible to tweak it so it with a search like TBGL_MouseGetWheel it would find TBGL_MouseGetWheelDelta also?

[ErosOlmi]

I think I've done some steps further.

I've removed standard index and recreated a bigger custom index (from 5Mb to 18Mb index file).
I've also activated partial match.

Hope this is better. Please possibly confirm it.

Ciao
Eros

MouseGetWheel doesn't find related posts only TBGL_MouseGetWheel so partial search only works for the end of a string.
