Forum search ignoring words
Posted: Sun Nov 11, 2012 2:31 pm
The forum search function seems to ignore a lot of the words you search for, making it hard to find stuff. Putting the phrase in quotes or adding + marks doesn't seem to make any difference.
Examples: (Some are real things I was searching for, others are example phrases I used to test)
search.php?keywords=%22original+character%22
