multi-word search in 1.7.8
« on: September 29, 2010, 08:37:28 PM »
Hello,

I don't know if this issue is related to the last update or my configuration, but i just noticed a problem with the search engine and the keywords :

- Search with a single word works fine (ie : houston)
- Search with 2 words (space separated) = Your search resulted in no matching records. (ie : houston washington)
- Search with 2 words using AND, OR, NOT = Your search resulted in no matching records. (ie:  houston AND washington)

- Search with 2 words seperated by a comma = works fine, same as using "OR" (ie:  houston,washington)
- Search with 2 words using comma + AND = works fine (ie : houston,AND,washington)

So there's a bug with space and commas i guess, any help to fix that please ?
nb : I use the last version 1.7.8, I did the keyword migration, and i have unmodified search.php and search_utils.php

Thank you

Yes, it's a bug.

Please test this. In includes/search_utils.php find:

  $split_words preg_split("/,+/"$val);

Replace it with:
  if ($for_search)
  {
    
$split_words preg_split("/\s+/"$val);
  }
  else
  {
    
$split_words preg_split("/,+/"$val);
  }
Your first three "must do" before you ask a question:
