Search icon function has a bug?

[TaShadan]

I tried to find icons with the keyword "bow" but it didnt work. It tells me there are no resources with that keyword.

There is a possibility no user use Bow as keyword, well, very small chance

 

[Almia]

me too.
I tried also "AI" and "UI" and doesnt show anything

@Daffa the Mage
the name of the resource counts as a keyword too

 

[TaShadan]

Axe doesnt work too. Impossible that bow and axe are not used. Any admin here?

vBulletin's search system is very, well, lacking. (=> Search "kingdom of kaliron" in the maps section, it's not even on the first page)
The only way to make it effective is to spam the resource's name in the description.
So it's normal that it doesn't detect icons with "axe" or "bow" in their names, because we have lots of those actually.

Ok i see. Just thought it worked months ago.

It may be that bow is too short of a word for the search system. I recall that the minimum word length is 4 characters.

I see, never think of that

It may be that bow is too short of a word for the search system. I recall that the minimum word length is 4 characters.

That's the reason it doesn't work, since Bow, Axe, AI, UI is consist of less than 4 Characters

 

[Ralle]

Okay. I have made the minimum word length 2 characters. Please attempt at those searches again.

I wonder if it would be possible to "search for images" kind of like what Google images has. I guess that all depends on if the algorithms were made public knowledge or not.

 

[Ralle]

I guess you can by using googles image search and using site:hiveworkshop.com

 

[TaShadan]

thx works much better now

 

[Ralle]

Yay That's awesome.

 

[Silverfish423]

it's the way that the search function is inherently designed

Ralle has changed the minimum word length to 2 characters for search keywords.
Marked as solved.
