    Search function is ruined...

    I knew we had a "Do you believe in God" thread before, so I wanted to search for that thread using the "Search" function, and guess what?



    Whats the use for a search function if it is limited? Its like censorship, you are allowed to search for this, but not for that... Really useless, and it isnt what the function is designed for

    Words with 3 letters or less are also banned...

    Remove the word filter, and if you are eager to keep some kind of filter, keep the bad-word filter.

    Thanks

    Man it's only because you can't use the search function properly.

    The thread is here : https://www.gamezone24.net/forums/showthread.php?t=13179

    And here's the search settings I used :



    We could cut it to 3 chars but the thing is that it would include too many useless words and slow down the process.

    god*? See, you are bypassing the filter with a wildcard You can do this with the other "banned" words too, thanks for sharing that tip

    Yeah it would slow it down, but if you just use a wildcard, its no problem anymore

    Yeah same is happening to me, I typed in a thread which I'm sure still existed (cant remember what I typed in) and it came up with nothing, and when I looked through the pages I found it, damn that search function needs a fix.

    This is a default setting for vBulletin boards.


    Words with 3 letters or less are too short and some "common words" are also banned (we can't even decide which are "common" words since it's built-in somehwhere ). "Believe" is pretty common word though, just like for example "think". I believe those words can be found in >50% of topics..


    That's why there are some filters, otherwise it would take huge server resources to search threads that contain words like "and" "in" because they exist in every thread.


    Use Dre's method if you want to add those short words.
