New Search Feature

Finding this new search feature annoying. If I put in "Ponting", for example, and even posts made by a certain user with Ponting in them, then the results are all botched. Can't organise them by date, the relevancy sorting feature is pretty ordinary. And results just aren't coming up as they should.

It is way better than anything we've had so far. And I think this is the standard in all Bulletin boards, is it not?

Yeah, typed in "Zimbabwe" and "The Zimbabwe Thread" was hidden somewhere on page 7, in amongst stuff like "What do you do with girls"

I just searched for Zimbabwe and got a heap of relevant results on the first page.

This search is actually more powerful than vBulletin inbuilt search and not a faster too.

To reiterate what I said in another thread:

Cbf opening a new thread. Is it possible to add more sort options for the search feature? Since the new version or whatever it's only possible to sort by relevancy. Should be able to sort by date at least.
New search is fairly useless to me without proper sort options.

Also, not that big a deal, but we don't seem to be able to search for multiple words in quotes. Not sure if we ever could, but would be nice to be able to.

I've been playing with the search the past few days, and its been driving me crazy too!

I'm going to attempt to put the old search back and monitor the server load this weekend.

Stay tuned.

Apologies for the delay everyone.

'The search has been re-done and put back to the original vBulletin search.

Please report back any problems.

Nonetheless, just given it a crack and the results-which-I-know-are-there-not-showing-up problem is still in-place and how.

What are you searching for that you know is there but isn't showing in the results?

For example, I'll search for threads started by me which have "birthday" and "Harmison" (that's two separate searches BTW) in the title, and nothing.

Can hardly get a result before the start of this year. Maybe it has something to do with when the search function was changed.
