Dear David,
I almost have all my specifications worked out on my own version of price tapestry and i truely have to say, you did a great job programming it. Altough i had to do allot of customisation on it, the base that i got from you was super!
But now i only have one more problem left, the search engine isn't really what i would hope it would be. The problem is, if i want to search for, say an example: canon b40 , but the record in my DB is Canon b40b , the search egine can't find it. Do you have any solution for this problem?
You can try it yourself, go http://inkt.wij5.nl/index.php , type in "Canon" in the search field and it won't find anything! I already tried the
"if (strlen($parts[0]) > 3)" change into "if (0)" thing, but that doesn't work!
Thanks allot!
Rene
Hi Rene,
I've sent you a modified version of your current search.php to try...
Cheers,
David.
Hello Rene,
With the small amount of test data the full text index would not have indexed nearly every word, and doesn't index words less than 4 characters in length anyway. In this case, you would need to use the original search method by making the change that you say you have tried. In this case, spaces are ignored a full string compare is performed by MySQL, so it should work fine.
Can you revert to this modification, and let me know when you have done it and I'll take another look at your site. If there are still no results, please could you email me your modified search.php and i'll check it over for you...(reply to your forum registration or reg code email is the easiest way to get me)
Cheers,
David.
