have you tryed making keywords for your entries? for eatch FAQ entry you make eatch one must have its own keyword for it to be searched

E.g say you made a FAQ on links your keyword for that entry would be Links,friends affilities ect

Search Problem...

Post by Jason0071 »

SQL and PHP are working fine. The search script is not using the search string, instead it is using "search" as a string to search for. If I use search as a keyword then it will find the entry. I suspect this is a common problem. There may be some settings on the PHP engine that are not correct, or some patch to the software.

Thorsten any ideas...? URL is as follows:

Hi Jason,

"assignment" or "ownership" are found. It seems MySQL does not search for words that are included in more than 50% of all entries like "insurance" or "happens" on your page. Add some more entries and everything should work fine.
