Using SMF's Built-in Search Algorithm
« on: March 27, 2023, 08:56:44 am »
The current search feature for this mod is badly lacking, especially for galleries that feature 1000's of pictures. Are there any plans to improve the search function so that it searches the database more like the way SMF's search feature does for topics?

Guess I need that explained more. Is a search option missing? We do have a fulltext search option you can enable.

I don't think that's good enough. If you look at the code SMF uses, it goes beyond offering a fulltext search. It adds weights to certain words, omits shorter common words, and breaks down the search query more effectively. I believe it also includes an index.
