search help

[fasteddie455]

I cannot seem to get the"AND" function to work: no matter what two words I type in , I get a selections containing either word instead of both.....(sigh) I even tried the "search for any terms " and the "search for all terms"please help me.I was trying to search Jay Black and I get a whole lotta Jay Turser and Jay Monterose etc. this seems to happen no matter what I type in for the two words. Thanks

Searching the TDPRI for "Telecaster" or tele or Fender and 100 common words like "and" "or" etc would grind the server to a halt as it tries to return the results of that search. So, the top 100 used words are eliminated from the search function.

The other problem, and it's well documented here, is that the search function catalogs every word used in every single post in a database. This database is now so large that it is the number one cause for slow downs on the TDPRI.

Until a new version of the software that runs the TDPRI is released with fixes for these two problems the search function is restricted in what words it can search for.


since if you look up black, no results come back since it is one of the 100 words elimiated. What I expect the search is doing is elimiating Black and just searching for Jay.
