search issues

It worked fine till today. So now I can only search a single key word. eg: When I tried to search "rafael alencar", there was no results, it used to do, I'm certain. I can only break it up and search a single word. I've tried many other names, same problem, any explanations? Thank you.

As has been noted in other threads: put multi-word searches in quotes...

not rafael alencar, but rather "rafael alencar"

Awkward, I swear it used to be fine, I didn't add the quotes. Thank you.

Try at Search (old)

I can search more than 1 word without using the quotation.

I did search at Search (old), still not working, no idea why, it was fine yesterday. Guess I have to add the quotation from now on.

I'm noticing this too. I used to be able to search for -hidden massage- and it would bring up every listing with both words in it. but if I searched -"hidden massage"- it would bring up only listings with the exact pairing of hidden massage in it.

now, if I search without quotes I don't get any hits. If I search with quotes, it of course only matches exact pairings. (great when looking for a specific connor....)

NOTE: I was wondering if something changed in parsing, so I tried -hidden+massage and it brought up everything with both words in it no matter where they were.

So to do a broader match use + between words rather than a space. When matching exact, of course, use a space with it all inside of quotes.

Hope that helps, or it changes back.
