Search issue

[Ionut Barabasa]

Hello

I am using the blue template which has a keyword search in header. If type a word here some suggestions will be displayed. But this suggestions follow the rule of the " Any words, any order " search

I typed TONER and i get suggestion for classifieds that contains the word TONE in description. Only the last suggestion was the classified that contains the word TONER.

My question HOW DO I ASSOCIATE THE HEADER SEARCH with the " Exact match " rule ?

Then i used the search form. I typed TONER and chose ANY WORD, ANY WORDER" and i got results that contained words " tone" and "firestone " The last in list were the classified with the words Toner in description
ANY WORD ANY ORDER is not about searching any word in that exact form from the inputed expression ?

I make a search for "pat" with the rule " exact match" and i indeed get accurate result. Then i save this as a tag. When i visit the tag's page first result are now totally different. Classifieds that have words like " patologie" "patrimoniu" are first and the last ones are the classifieds with the word " pat" (which should be first)

The preliminary search working differently from the search itself. So we cannot just change it to "exact match"

you can try following changes to make it more like "exact match" but not sure will it what you need or not


change should be done to templates/autocomplete.inc.php

find code there

Only registered members can view the code. 

replace with

Only registered members can view the code. 

also you can play with LIKE '{$str}' code and change it to '%{$str}' or '{$str}%' or '%{$str}%'

% is like "wild-card" in the sql LIKE statement
