VidER Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Hi All.. I was searching for a good VCD player here in neowin.. I noticed that most of the results have nothing related to VCDs! then I noticed that one of the members mentioned something about VCDs in his signature.. I think it was a link to his VCD playlist or something.. Imagine how this thing harms the search feature in the board! I think that signatures should be excluded from the searches.

Yuxi Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Do you have any more proof that this is a bug? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwBen Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 i agree, this does get quite annoying having to sift through hundreds of topics :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted January 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2004 Well, what were the search terms you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 By default, it searches with or Eg: "Vanilla Coke" searches as "Vanilla OR Coke" To get it to search with and, use +s Eg: "+Vanilla +Coke" searches as "Vanilla AND Coke" Don't forget to include the plus on every word, including the first. I don't think it searches signatures... can you give us exactly what you searched for and the topic you found the VCR signature thing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted January 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2004 searches with OR by default? :huh: no wonder all my results are irrelevant :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best_uv_d_best Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 that's not very good design... hmmm sometimes i wonder about IPB... that explains why all my searches turn up with nothing to do with my criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VidER Posted January 31, 2004 Author Share Posted January 31, 2004 using + won't solve the problem! It will still search the signatures! A VCD player is a player that plays VCD Movies :-) VidER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigatexel Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Try +vcd* +player I think that's about as good as it's going to get. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
