...... (see http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=479967. ............ #msg3360137) SMF search is not working as would rationally be expected, ............ when "quoted phrases" are used. For example, Google will search "a ............ kitten" and match only that phrase (punctuation is ............ , so a brown-kitten would be matched). SMF will split up ............ phrase into three words and search for them ............ , returning far too many results. It will even search for the ............ 'a', which would be excluded as too short if given ............ quotes: a brown kitten. I admit that this may only be ............ the "teaser" for the found post, and not which posts are ............ in the first place, but to have every 'a' in the post highlighted ............ annoying at the least. I would expect to see only ............ sequence of words a brown kitten highlighted in the results. To ............ what Google does and produce the logical expected ............ , SMF could still split up a quoted phrase into its individual words and ............ should highlight only sequences where the words are all present and in order. So, text "a brown- ............ " would be matched by pattern "a brown kitten". The letter 'a' ............ be highlighted only if part of a brown kitten. I'm not sure if SMF is ............ handling which posts are searched and returned. When ............ tested this in the Feature Request (link above), it appeared to return ............ post in that topic with a brown kitten appearing (even though ............ highlighted all the 'a's). However, when I searched Community ............ new topic entry, it only returned the post I had just made in that topic. It seems inconsistent. ............ .S. If I search for "q brown kitten", all quotation marks " ............ turned into " and are displayed thusly, with the 'q' highlighted. ............ separate bug. ......
