The ability to search for just the Topic Title

Postby costas » Jun 1st, '06, 05:53



The search engine is pretty effective here on Talk Magic but it would be nice if we could have one extra option added to where a search string could be applied to only the topic title - as this would facilitate in finding a specific product review or a particular topic that only deals with the item in question. This would also save the moderators/administrators from the painstaking task of having to constantly index and update a thread containing product reviews (even though that is a very useful thread as well).

I think tht would be a great idea as i have tried searching for topics in the past but then have just given up as the search didn't find it.

I agree with costas tbh 8)
I've done searches before and sometimes the search result has thrown literally hundreds of results back at me - most of them completely irrelevant to what I was looking for, just because someone mentioned it at least once in a particular thread, it's thrown in with the results.
It would be nice to do a search and just search the title so it eliminates the hundreds or so of unnecessary results :wink:

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Isn't this is one for the phpBB guys who wrote the software? Sounds like a functionality thing to me.

a thing that i have found helps, is check the box that says 'search for all words' as opposed to 'search for any'

although, yes, it would be nice to have a search for title only
