Search in forum not usable
Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2018 4:12 am
Hi,
normally it is good practice to search in the forum before asking questions.
However, very often a search query gets rejected with a message like the following:
I participate in another forum using the same software (phpBB) where this never happens. A quick internet serach reveals that there is a "common words" threshold which has the effect to reject search terms contained in, for example, more than 5 % of the posts. This threshold can be changed (increased, in this case), and then a rebuild of the search index solves the problem.
Could someone of the administrators be so kind and look into this...?
Thank you,
Matthias
