How to Configure Search for Mutiple Words

posts: 2

Hello all,

I'm creating a web tool to allow the little guy like me with a -1 pagerank to easily list his website(s) and have an equal chance of being seen... TikiWiki remains the most powerful CMS I've seen, yet, it amazes me that its search feature is not full-fledged out the box.
If one were to type "     phone", (that's space space phone) or "phone     " in our search bar, no listing with the term "phone" would result. Or if one were to make an error and typed "iPhone      5", no listing with "iPhone 5" would show!

Also, Tiki will not display 2 different terms, with each in a different listing i.e. "iphone galaxy" will output no result, even though diverse files may contain the terms "iphone" and "galaxy" individually.

Please help! (and no, we don't wanna integrate Google to search).

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE:)!

P.S. I'll take everything back if these issues have been attended to and am just unaware.

Good day,

What version of Tiki are you running?

If you are running a later version then there has been great improvements in the search thanks to a feature called Unified Search.

If you go to your admin panel and then click on search
./tiki-admin.php?page=search

You will be able to turn on Unified Search

We have done some very complex projects that required powerful search capabilities and Unified Search has been able to deliver the performance we needed.

Best of luck

Thanks for willing to help, Pascal! However, I'm still ending with the same result. Nothing seems to change when I check or uncheck the 'unified search' checkbox. There are diverse subcategory check-boxes... not sure which to check or not. I wonder if I could get a screenshot showing which to check.

I'm providing a shot of how mine is set up.

Thanks!
