Better search function

[hgoor]

Hi,

I would like to know if the search function within Serendipity can be upgraded to be better?

I like to be able to use stuff like literal search (you know: "this") and some other stuff like booleans like AND, OR, NOT.

Also, highlite of search words would be great!

Hi!

Using MySQL the boolean search can be triggered by using "+" and "-" characters [like the google search] in your search words. Literal search is triggered by enclosing the word in quotes ("").

Highlighting search words can AFAIR be done with the search highlight plugin...

best regards,
Garvin

Does the built-in search work like this already?

Hi!

The MySQL fulltextsearch that is builtin and used on MySQL setups works like this in Serendipity 1.0, if the fulltext index keys on your database were set [this should be the case unless you got any SQL errors when installing s9y].
