Is search box working?

magrufmagruf New
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

Hello. I have just installed vaniila forum for testing and noticed that search box on top side doesn't work. Is this a bug or another way to sue it?
I tried to searched that topic on community but no replied I saw.
Thanks.

    If you'd like to "sue" it, I'd recommend contacting a lawyer - giggle - all jokes aside; is your installation live so one might be able to take a closer look at what's wrong? If it isn't live, might you be able to describe what happens when you enter a search term and trying searching - does Vanilla throw back any error messages or the likes?

    Vanilla i think runs search on a cron ( not 100% ) sure.

    Like @422 pointed out, you'll just need to wait until your forums has a bunch of posts before Vanilla will actually start indexing stuff. You can search directly using "+ [term]" meaning that searching for "+ sample" (sample being a word used in one of your discussions) will yield results.

    OMG sorry for this. It is very easy. I think I just need to read more :) Thank you.

    This "+" is just for content search? Becouse if I want to search user , doesn't gave result.
    Or do you know all search tips?

    Mysql full text is not going to give you more than a rudimentary search engine with mysql fulltext. If you are happy with this fine, if not you could set up sphinx search.

    @422 the fulltext indexes are integral, with the database, it is just with it relies on statistical calculations which require more data.

    grep is your friend.

    I'm convinced. I am going to install Sphinx on my server when I get home tonight.
