Can we no longer "show results as posts"? I tried a couple of days ago to find something and all it returned were entire threads. On the old forum there used to be a function to show each post that contained your search.

Can we no longer "show results as posts"? I tried a couple of days ago to find something and all it returned were entire threads. On the old forum there used to be a function to show each post that contained your search.
I was wondering about this too.
You can still select the "show posts" option under single content type (why do we have the other tab btw?)
but the results come back as thread titles, that when clicked take you to the post it was referring to.
The old way of showing the post text as a result was better.
Just went into the admin settings to see if I could find anything, but it looks like the main difference here is that the search we're used to would have a preview of the post viewable as a snippet in the search results. Whereas this version makes the snippet viewable, but you have to hover your mouse over the thread title when go through the list of posts.
This strikes me as a stupid way to do things, but can't see a setting that lets me toggle between. Wraith, any ideas? I suspect this may just be how all vBulletin search UI is designed now.
There doesn't appear to be a setting for this. I could edit the html code directly to make it work. Maybe in a bit.
I can't find the last thread I created on the search function *ironically, the search function proved incapable of finding any posts I've made with the term "search" in them* so I'm bumping this one, just to remind you Wraith that the problem I complained about last time has not been fixed.
When I get a multi-page return for a search I've made, I can only access the first page of the results. Attempts to move to any other page just refresh that first page of results.
You didn't create a thread, you posted about it in the suggestion thread, a few days after I posted about it in the upgrade thread.
remove the "pp=" part from the url, so that the end of the url looks like this:
http://www.theworldforgotten.com/sea...=102307&page=2
or just make it so there's an "&" after "pp=". i believe that's the cause of the bug? the "pp=" determines how many hits to display per page.
I have this fixed on the test forum. I'll bring it forward.
Either way, when I put "search" into the search function, it gave me a "could not find any matches" return.Quote:
