Topic: search problem

why, inserting criterias in the TITLE and AUTHOR fields, it show also news that don't have that criteria in their TITLE or in the name of their AUTHOR?
It seems that they work like inserting criterias in the NEWS field, because it search posts have that criteria also in the text of the story...

Re: search problem

I start by saying that I migrated from cutenews 1.4.7 to Cutenews 1.5. As you can see above, inserting in Title field the word "studenti", search script doesn't show only the news which title contain the word "studenti", but it shows other news that haven't that word in their title.

Furthermore, if I insert, in Author field, an author's name that doesn't exist, like the name "stato", search script shows a lot of news, rather than to show nothing. Look above:

How to fix?

Re: search problem

I downloaded it!
It works better. But I noted that if I insert the word "studenti" (letter "s" little) in Title field, search script doasn't show nothing:

If I insert the word "Studenti" (letter "S" capital) in Title field, search script finds news correctly:

It's the same about Author Field. You can try here http://www.pasqualemarinelli.com/b/example2.php

Can you fix this issue, removing this difference?

Re: search problem

Most people would want the search to be case dependent (I do)  so in order to give a choice the script would need to be re-written with this as an option.
However you can change your copy of search.php at your own risk.
find: 

 // Actual search result?
                    if (preg_match("/$preg_author/", $item[1]) == 0 ||
                        preg_match("/$preg_title/", $item[2]) == 0 ||
                        preg_match("/$preg_story/", $item[3]) == 0)
                        continue;

Replace with: 

// Actual search result?
                    if (preg_match("/$preg_author/i", $item[1]) == 0 ||
                        preg_match("/$preg_title/i", $item[2]) == 0 ||
                        preg_match("/$preg_story/i", $item[3]) == 0)
                        continue;

See if that works.

Re: search problem

it works better in this way: 

// Actual search result?
                    if (preg_match("~$preg_author~i", $item[1]) == 0 ||
                        preg_match("/$preg_title/i", $item[2]) == 0 ||
                        preg_match("/$preg_story/i", $item[3]) == 0)
                        continue;

Thank you very much!!!
