multiSearch.php Question Can't Post
Hi

I tried using the multiSearch.php file referenced in the CMSB Tutorial thread, and it works well with v2.05. However, I do have a question. The current search is case sensitive. Is there anyway to make the search case insensitive?

Thanx.......... Ragi

Hi,

I've done some testing with the script and the search doesn't seem to be case sensitive. Could you provide me with an example url where you are getting case sensitive results?

Thanks.

Hi

I am using multiSearch.php and it's GREAT!Smile Loving it!

I am currently facing one problem -- entering "space" using Japanese character as search keywords. In Japanese character there are two ways (kinds) of entering "space" which gives different search results.
Would it be possible to treat these two different spaces the same so search results are the same?

I am entering two kinds of "space" below
Note: They are "space"s therefore invisible.

A) This is called "Hankaku space" inside the quote --> " "

B) This is called "Zenkaku space": --> "@"

Please advise

Hey,

We'll look into some sort of option for that for the future. In the meantime, this function might be useful for you:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-kana.php

In multisearch.php something like:
Code
$searchOptions['keywords'] = @mb_convert_kana($FORM['q'],'s')

Hope that helps,
Robin

I am experiencing the case sensitive issue as well. If you go here...

[removed]

and search for "design tips" vs. "Design Tips" you get a different set of results.

Hi,

Could you attach the .php file you're working with so we can take a closer look at your code?

Thanks
