Forum matters

Post by yerzmyey »

Hi,
there's no such a corner like "Forum matter", so I add it here.
I think the searching engine might be more normal.

I've got such a requester while searching:
"The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: zx80.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards."

I can't remember the site with _moving_ progs and games for ZX80 and some C64 peoplke were interested. I can't remember anything from the subject so just was looking the closest - "ZX80" - and then I would look in results for myself.
Sadly - the forum's engine doesn't allow its usage.

Byez,
Y

Another thing: a lot of attaches (all?) has dissapeared.

Example:

"
The selected attachment does not exist anymore.
The file ./../files/1074_f4edb5c24cfbd73fedaf9e956fa72353 does not exist.
"

+1 for the search being broken - as far as I know it's never really worked .. It would be good it it did though - hint, hint ;)

The search function seems not to work very well on any of the phpBB sites I am running - not sure what the problem is here, as they don't even run the same version of the software!

When I get chance I will investigate.

YES, I know some of the attachments have disappeared - I lost a few things when the site went down and not all the attachments were in my backups for some reason - if people can link to the posts on here where the attachment is missing (I don't need to know the error), I will see if I have the original attachment here, otherwise maybe the original poster can re-upload it.

Thanks
RWAP

OK - I have resolved the search by rebuilding the search index on the site.
