Searching bug

    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.

  2. Can we also put the word limit for the search at 3, like searching osu is impossible amongst others.
     
  3. Not sure what you mean, searching for osu works fine
     
  4. Looks like I might have been overzealous with my stopword adjustments, will look into this when I get a chance

  6. 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.
