Believe I may have found the cause for the lack of search results experienced here (https://www.gamingmasters.org/threads/h1z1.9594/#post-192569): Performing a search of multiple words where some of the words are too short or common with no quotes doesn't perform a search properly. Examples: ""Heroes of the Storm"": Note that it says: https://www.gamingmasters.org/search/3273088/?q="Heroes of the Storm"&o=date&c[node]=98 "Heroes Storm": https://www.gamingmasters.org/search/3273090/?q=Heroes Storm&o=date "Heroes of the Storm": https://www.gamingmasters.org/search/search It ate the input and did nothing... Modifying the url to search for "Heroes of the Storm" manually: https://www.gamingmasters.org/search/3273089/?q=Heroes of the Storm&o=date Just pair any search word with 'the' and the search appears to fail.
Looks like I might have been overzealous with my stopword adjustments, will look into this when I get a chance
Seems to be a mysql bug - with all stopwords disabled the boolean mode (and only boolean mode) fulltext search doesn't return any results if what would normally be a stopword is AND'd in I'm bringing back the default stopword list at next reboot, should solve the issue
MySQL's full text search is tragic, I had my share of fucking around with it and I was pretty close to just burn my servers to the ground instead.
