{$ubbt_lang['SEARCH_PM']} Seems to be used in search.tmpl but in the instructions it isn't mentioned as being added to language/search.php

I believe that was Gardener's addition to the search page upgrade. I haven't looked at the code myself but perhaps he can help on this one. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yes, it seems that I missed the language string in search.pm in the instructions. Just add this line to search.pm:<br /><br />$ubbt_lang['SEARCH_PM'] = "Search your Private Messages";<br /><br />I'll update the instructions and repost.

3DSHROOM mentioned a slight problem with the search upgrade for 6.1.x which is fixed in this version as well as another thing related to it. I have also fixed some missing language strings and updated the instructions for 6.1.0.<br /><br />The new version is attached to this post.

Glad to see I could help out...<br /><br />A suggestion... Make an option to search for "parent threads" (ie B_Parent=='0') or "threads and replies". It's usefull with larger boards when you need to cut down the number of duplicate matches.

That's a good idea, I'll look into it as soon as I have some spare time, but I won't promise anything.<br /><br />Another tip I got from one of my users was to add both start and end for the date range to limit the search even more.<br /><br />Does anyone else have any suggestions for the search page while I'm (possibly) at it?

How about using + and - on the search for the words. For instance +ubb +threads will show me every post that has ubb AND threads in it (body or subject) but +ubb -threads will show only the ones that have the ubb in them - ubbthreads will be ignored.<br /><br />I hope I have not opened pandora's box <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Warm regards<br /><br />Nikos

That would be a good idea, but writing a parser for that would be a bit harder. I'll keep it in mind though.

Any chance in getting this workable under 6.2? My users love this mod (as do I). It's kind of sad that this isn't an official feature. The default search is very basic.

Since I don't have access to the member area anymore I haven't even looked at any 6.2 code so I couldn't say. Maybe someone else could do the necessary changes. I agree with you that the extended search possibilities should be a standard feature.

>Since I don't have access to the member area anymore<br /><br />Why not?

He he.... it costs money. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yup, it does, and I'm a poor student who can't afford it at the moment. =[

For as much work as you, JoshPet, and JustDave do on Threads, they should give you a free lifetime license <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I was lucky enough to have a license before they were bought by Infopop, so I only have to pay a little over $30 a year <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, me too, so it isn't that much money, but it's still a bit more than I can pay at the moment. I'll try to get the rest of the admins to help me pay it soon though, shouldn't be any problem.

Good to hear

Looks like the problem is solved, thanks to matts:<br />http://www.threadsdev.com/threads/php/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=finished&Number=64283
