Searching the Textpattern Forum

I am not sure that the search function is working as I would have expected.

Searching the Forums for a topic never seems to take me to the spot based on the keywords that i searched on.
For example search for “PHP 5.4” doesn’t result in forum posts that have that search string.

I actually have to use Google to search on PHP 5.4 textpattern. to get results.

Am I missing something?

Re: Searching the Textpattern Forum

Are you using the search box (top right) or the search tab?

interesting… I’ve never noticed the other search box ;-)
I have only used the Search Tab.

UPDATE: just used the Search Box…. now that is much better ;-)

I have only used the Search Tab.

…and I was the opposite for so many years.

That’s what I expected to read. The forum internal search from the tab is limited to find strings of five and more characters. I think I’ve once read that’s an SQL limitation.
