Using Search - weird results?

posts: 24 Germany

Hi all,

I'm using tiki4.x and I have a prob using the search function - or maybe I dont know how to use it correctly. Maybe someone can help me.

Let's say I have an article named "XII ZR 204/08" (without the quotes). If I search for XII ZR 204/08, not using quotes nor advanced search, I can find this article (and lots more containing XII or ZR or 204 or 08)

But if I check the advanced search box, to search for the phrase "XII ZR 204/08" the search results are empty. Not mattering if I use quotes or not (!) or parentheses.

Can somebody help me with this?

Thx in advance

The Tiki search and advanced search engines have several anomolies that make them less-than-ideal for dependable searching. Your search exposes two of them:

1. Advanced Searc does not return any string shorter than 4 characters
2. The "/" character does strange things to some, but not all, advanced searches. If you remove that slash your search may work properly. I do not know why... must have something to do with the SQL FUlltext search index.
