Hey, Raman!

Sorry to hear about the search trouble... The forums use full-text indexing, which means it will search on any word that is greater than 3 characters.

I tried to do a search on "Gaia" and "Steve", and in all cases I found posts that included my name in them.

One of the questions I have for you is, did you click the "posts" radio button under the bottom-right section called "display options"? By default it gives you back the thread that your search term appears in. That is only helpful up to a point, so if you click on "posts", it will instead give you the exact posts that your search term is found in.

Also, if you are using the "Search by Username" option and putting in "Steve", for instance, be sure to uncheck the "match exact user name", since my username also includes "Bring4th_".

Otherwise, I can find all of your posts and any term I can think of. Browser type won't matter, since we are talking about a database inside the forums.

Let me know if you might have overlooked that small detail.
Steve

I mentioned the browsers due to the cache aspect on them. I know you probable use a sql (possibly mysql or equivalent) in this php based forum so I understand database is part (included/linked) of the forum per se.

I understand about names, etc...No, I am doing the search queries correctly.

For example I search Raman's post just before this post:
