search function

the search function has gotten better with the latest revamp of org, but why does a search for both:

"bill evans"

and

+bill +evans

in titles only turn up two hits? (at least it's the same two...)

+bill +evans results

"bill evans" results

something wrong here!

and

+Evans +Bill +Waltz

doesn't give any results which is strange given what the results for +Bill +Evans are (at first sight i would guess it only gives titles starting with "Bill Evans" but...) never saw a similar problem with search in topics (which i always use iirc)

another problem while we're at it, the search engine complains about strings containing words shorter than 4 letters like "legends of acid jazz"... that searching for "of" alone is not possible i completely understand, but within a longer string...?

That's the problem I don't understand. If you put things in quotes, its not looking for two or three letter words, its supposed to look for the entire quote, verbatim. When the search function was working normally (two "updates" ago) you could put anything in quotes and it worked the way it should. Not anymore.

easy way to check is a search for threads with "Evans" in the title... the problem with the short words is, i guess that the search engine searches for a string word by word and then excludes results where words don't appear in their string... thus a search for "ran blake" is still impossible

that's the Search I am clicking on but I still get Amazon in the box that opens and my search options area is partially obscured by this. try it and does it happen to you

i see what you mean the word amazon.com is there (the box doesn't open over it but below - guess another programming error in the priority between list boxes or what they are called on the page...) but the search function is the right one...

Is this something to do with using different browsers? I'm using Int Exp and it's not like that.

i'd have guessed that it comes from the way the page is programmed - that there are layers or a priority between control elements or something and that the guy who programmed it was not really careful (don't know too much about these online programming languages just about visualbasic :-) ) but if you don't have it... strange, i have it and use IE, too; maybe the windows version or something
