Search function fails so hard

[SephYuyX]

Ive never found google search for forums to ever work properly. The built in is a bit better, but it's still god awful.

I know with phpbb you can do + or "", but I dont think ive ever gotten anything like that to work here.

Id like to be able to search for all posts for ex that had the phrase "PUP Solo AV" or PUP+Solo+AV and only get returns with that full phrase or all 3 words in one post, not every post that had PUP, Solo, or AV in it :/

I rarely ever use the search function on the forums.

Just make a topic called Odin Tips, then wait for people to reply with their experiences, then at some point someone will post a link to the thread you are looking for. LOL

Just do this, damn.

I have to agree, the search function is lacking in many respects. How do I come to this conclusion you might ask? I did a search of "Uggalepih Pendant SCH Solo" and this thread came up.

The boolean operators thing would be nice. I'm pretty sure that it's not a phpbb vs. vbulliten thing, because I'm almost certain we had that here for a while.

A number of months ago when I first noticed this issue with search, I tried researching if it was a problem with me (like maybe I didn't know the right commands to do for "and") but from what I found it looks like in vbulletin, while boolean search operators are possible they are turned off by default in admin settings? If it's possible to switch them on that would be awesome, but if it would fuck up the forums too much I understand that, too.
