   Search order by date or mate.
  Well we know the search is not advanced but can it at least be so that you can see it in a chronological order?If you want other suggestions about search, how about using " " for exact phrasing.To be able to select to look for posts that are popular that have been replied to and viewed a lot.Also not to say so many error when searching.I know many write BS and don't look back but some do try to look for past usefull information.[edited by - warsong on February 3, 2004 2:32:46 AM]
  It doesn''t do literals and operatives... oh... now   it all makes sense... it really should.And the errors? I get them all the time to (using IE6)...   Yes... VB6 is here to steal your minds. Very slowly. ;  I think most of this is already in the new forum search - it uses a new engine that Mike worked on at some point, I know that much. If you''re lucky he''ll see this thread and tell us all exactly what it''ll be able to do. ;  I''ve decided I''m going to scrap my own engine and opt to use the built in indexing capabilities of SQL Server 2000.  While mine is substantially faster, the SQL Server 2000 implementation is far more robust and will make for easier specialized searches.If this ends up being a bad decision down the line I''ll re-implement my own.---Michael Tanczos
