Maybe it is the forum, or maybe it is me but I'm having trouble with the search function. I just received a Guild 885 and using the Forum Search on '885' I didn't find anything. But when I turned to The Google with Gruen 885, it gave me this page: http://vintagegruen.org/vgforum/index.php?t=tree&th=83

Are others having problems like this?

interesting. typing just numbers into the search feature will consistently return no result. I tried 405, 420ss, 707 etc., but with the word searches no issue.

Gary?

Good find! Numbers are not being indexed, only textual entries in the default software. There is a way but I have to modify a search array in the code.

I'll proof this out on our test forum and let you know how it goes.

Guess us old members here have that search indexing in our heads.

Thanks again for pointing this out!

Implemented and tested good in the test forum. I Just made the changes here, looks good!

Have at it!

Hate to bring up an old issue, but I just tried to do a movement (or year) search again and I'm getting no results. Is this working for others at this point?

No, I’m also unable to search numbers.

My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more

Yes software updates always revert back to search without numbers. I'll have to add that to the checklist when upgrading the forum. Try it now, you should be good to go now.

Oops, spoke too soon. It worked on 835. No results on 89.

That's an enhancement meaning its not coded to do so, too short meaning 3 or more, try 2019. I believe it's like that so we don't peg the database with thousands of hits.

These are the only 2 options, I can do a patch but that will take some effort.

if (@preg_match('/\p{L}/u', 'a') == 1) { // PCRE unicode support is turned on
// Match utf-8 words to index:
// - If you also want to index numbers, use regex "/[\p{N}\p{L}][\p{L}\p{N}\p{Mn}\p{Pd}'\x{2019}]*/u".
// - Remove the \p{N} if you don't want to index words with numbers in them.

preg_match_all("/\p{L}[\p{L}\p{N}\p{Mn}\p{Pd}'\x{2019}]*/u", $text, $t1);
foreach ($t1[0] as $v) {
if ($lang != 'zh-hans' && $lang != 'zh-hant' && $lang != 'ja' && $lang != 'ko') { // Not Chinese, Japanese nor Korean.
if (isset($v[51]) || !isset($v[2])) continue; // Word too short or long.
}
$a[] = _esc($v);
}
return $a;

Thank you, Gary! Good to know the limits. Even having 3 digit number search is most helpful, and that appears to get correct results each time. I’m code illiterate, so do I paste the code in the search bar to experiment for shorter numbers?

No that's just the code that I modified to get the 3+ numbers search working.
