Search Enhancement Mod

<< < (3/85) > >>

ioszilla:
I'm proud of this mod not because it's so 'feature-rich' :P, but because I believe it addresses two most annoying problems that have been haunting SMF search, making it a pain to use:

1. Relevance ranking

A search function is basically a failure if most relevant topics are not shown in results page 1 and 2 - on a big forum nobody sane would browse 10+ pages to find what he wanted. With this search mod, you have most relevant results on the first page and very few missing results, period.

If you administer an smf forum with more than 50,000 posts, you know what I am talking about -- SMF search ranking sucks :)


2. Missing results

Needless to elaborate on this. :P

I have a last question
*Please don't hurt me*

Can we use it on the forum AND on the site ?
My forum and my site will have the same header.
What should I add on the header in order to use and choose the search engine ?

ioszilla:
Hmm could u give me the url to your forum so I can better give u instructions? Thanks. :)



EDIT: solved via PM
