Searching: Subjects and Messages

[Colin]

Hi

Does anyone have this problem when searching the forums -

Enter some text to search (I tried "Hayley's voice")
Search on all forums
Check the Subject checkbox but uncheck the Message checkbox
Select the number of days to search (I used 365)
Then do the search

The search doesn't appear to take any notice of the Subject/Message checkboxes (and finds items in the messages for instance even when only the Subject checkbox is checked).

I'm wondering if it's me on my Mac with the Safari browser or if it happens generally?

Thanks

Colin

Hello Colin !

I was also presented with the same search results. I use IE 7.

ProBoards are aware of similar inaccurate searches. They compromised speed for accuracy in the recent upgrade, as word searches containing less than four letters are no longer possible.

Cheers,
Joe

Hi Colin,

I have tried using your search terms, once with the Message box checked and once with it unchecked and the results were identical. That suggests that something isn't working as it should but I regret I can offer no explanation at the moment.

I will have a think about it unless someone beats me to it (like they usually do!).

Roger (using ie6)

Edit. What did I tell you? Joe has already beaten me!

Hi Joe and Roger

Thanks for trying and letting me know.

I'm a software author so I know some of these things can slip through! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Kind regards
