Classifieds Search Issue?

[DHMaher]

Lately when I search the classifieds I get the message that I have hit over 1000 results etc. I'll click title only and still get 1000s of results even w/o the search term in the title. Is it just me or is there something strange going on here?

Thanks!

I did make some changes recently.

Let me know what exactly you are searching on in the various boxes so I can provide feedback.

If you press search on the page by changing nothing at all on the form, you get that message and a list of the 1,000 newest ads.

Here's an example. I re-keyed some locks this week and was looking to see if someone had any of the pins/wafers in the cylinders.

Simply searched for "wafer" in the find box. Title only is default. Got over a thousand results none of which have wafer in the title. This is the third or 4th time this has happened in the past week or so. Weird.

Ok, there was an issue if no ads were found under the new search logic I created.

Note that under the new search logic, it now works like the Forums search.
You must use * if you want partial searches to be found.
Example: If you want to find both wafer and wafers, search on wafer*

There are no ads for wafer right now so it was kicking back into showing the newest ads instead.

This is fixed now. It will say "No Ads Found"

Side note:
There are no ads at all with wafer in the title or description right now.
If you do a search for wafer* in the title and description, a couple come up:

Please let me know if search on anything else and don't get the results your were expecting.
