[QUOTE="SolitonMan, post: 5634804, member: 22433"] Hi, there may have been a topic on this in the past but I haven't seen it. I was wondering if you could update the search feature to allow for the ability to search for literal strings. For example, earlier today I wanted to search for discussions on the Eternal Wand magic item from the MIC. I typed "eternal wand" into the search text field on the search page, but when results came back the search indicated it had been for '"eternal' and 'wand"'. Depending on the back end database being used, it should be a straightforward upgrade to allow for such searches. Clearly the input is already being split based on spaces...a simple check for double or single quotes around phrases prior to splitting could be implemented. If you need a hand, send me the code, I do PHP dev for a living. Thanks! :) [/QUOTE]
