Hi,

A suggestion: currently, when you do a keyword search, it turns up all posts to topics containing the keyword.. so when searching for something you often find yourself looking at the same thread over and over. It would be more user-friendly to only see each thread come up once on the search results page.

Cheers,

Tobias

When searching for subjects we already do that and we try to strip the stuff in quotes before indexing the message.

ok. I was just surprised to see so many messages from the same topic thread on the search results page. I click back and forth constantly to make sure I'm not missing something.

Cheers,

Tobias

Did you search using 'subject' only or did you search inside both subject & body?

I just used the default - ie. search whole message.

Cheers,

Try 'mailman' - that pulls up a few posts from the same thread.

Cheers,

That's fine because that word natually occurs in more then 1 message. When indexing message non-unique (replies) subjects are not indexes and the text inside the [quote] tag.

Hi -

I guess it's not the end of the world, but I do find it confusing to have the results page show multiple results from the same thread. I'm used to other forums, I guess, where you find the thread where the word occurs alot and then start reading - then go back to the search results to see other useful threads. With FUD's search results, I often find myself clicking to the same thread over and over again when a topic is much discussed.

Cheers,

Tobias

Well, a thread may have many messages that match your query, clicking the result link will take you to the message with the text not a topic in general.
