Searching the image gallery - limit to number of search terms?
Using Jamroom
This is due to a recent change in the search module to switch to a "natural language" search if there are more than 5 words in the search string. So the issue here is that the search you are trying to run is:
Quote:
fire OR fires OR fireplace OR flames OR burning OR embers
which will get you the results you previously had. The problem we were running into was that searches like:
Quote:
picture of a dog next to a fireplace
were ending up being run as:
picture OR dog OR next OR fireplace
(the short "stop" words are not part of the search)
This ended up with mostly irrelevant search results. We felt 5 or MORE search words was a good separation between a Boolean search (which is what you want) and a natural language search - our hope was to NOT have to make another config option, which invariably ends up confusing people. But it sounds like on your site the expectation is that it will always be Boolean search? Do you want to always force ALL searches to be Boolean? Maybe the best option here is to add a config option to enable/disable natural language searches.
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks!
