The forum's search function is useless
The forum's search function is useless
Search result will only return recent posts which contains only parts of the search phrase. Even if it contains only a word of the search phrase then it could be considered as an candidate? If you break the search phrase into words, isn't the word is so common so the search result will be confused?
Take this as an example:
search.php?keywords=fbc+can%27t+see+header
Any posts, matched any words of the search phrase, for example, "header", are returned. This pretty much make the search function useless.

BTW, google.com returned the correct thread right away:
viewtopic.php?t=29519
What about integrate Google search into this forum? It's called Google CSE as I recall.

A known issue. The easiest workaround is indeed to use Google, e.g. as site:freebasic.net opengl

Yeah. I already use Google ^^jj2007 wrote:A known issue. The easiest workaround is indeed to use Google, e.g. as site:freebasic.net opengl

The forum search function ignores any colored text !

So we have a racist forum, or have I been watching too much football?

Coloured text matters.
'colored' is American English. Dear, oh dear fxm.

I usually use it, like with 'behavior' for example.

I regard that as an absolute disgrace of being neighbours unless you are an American in France, in which case we would be neighbors.fxm wrote:I usually use it, like with 'behavior' for example.
Some PowerBASIC members used to criticize me for using British English. I responded with, “Yorkshire is my first language and British English is my second language.” Funnily, quite a few of them knew where Yorkshire was, which is surprising since most of them don't know where countries are, let alone where counties are within countries. Actually, “most of them” is a little unfair – it is more like a half, as in the half who believe everything Donald Trump says. Having said that, Biden's knowledge of countries leaves a lot to be desired.
Re: The forum's search function is useless
Any language that can't make up its mind how "ough' is pronounced is a bit silly anyway.

No it is the pudding itself. All they need is a drop of gravy.marcov wrote:It is something you put in pudding or so.
Usually served with a Sunday roast.

You don't know how lucky you are. Our most wellknown regional delicacy is used as a biological weapon in Roadrunner and other cartoons:

Yorkshire has a well-known cheese from Wensleydale, at the top end of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
