I did not invent the search function. It's built into the mysql (database) server.
From the mysql manual:
Every correct word in the collection and in the query is weighted according to its significance in the collection or query. This way, a word that is present in many documents has a lower weight (and may even have a zero weight), because it has lower semantic value in this particular collection. Conversely, if the word is rare, it receives a higher weight. The weights of the words are then combined to compute the relevance of the row

the latest version we have is much better than what we had last time. anyway, there are 3 ways of searching ESATO.
1) the esato
Forum SEARCH function
2) the "Search Esato" function(which you can see on the left part of your screen everywhere in the site)
3) search using
http://www.google.com with the "site:"
I hope that helps.

@laffen. Can't you override that built-in search function of mysql, making your own queries with qualifiers like "+" and "-"? The only problem is if mysqI queries are case-sensitive (Oracle is...).

@krubach
that's doable already.
notes in the
esato forum search function:
Quote:By default, the search engine will find the most relevant post to the search term. Just like Google do. But you may want to be more spesific and use some of these operators:
+ A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in every post returned.
- A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in any post returned.
* An asterisk is the truncation operator. Unlike the other operators, it should be appended to the word, not prepended.
" The phrase, that is enclosed in double quotes ", matches only rows that contain this phrase literally, as it was typed.
Examples:
apple banana - find posts that contain at least one of these words.
+apple +juice - find posts that contain both words.
+apple -macintosh - find posts that contain the word "apple" but not "macintosh"
apple* - find "apple", "apples", "applet".
"some words" - find "some words of wisdom", but not "some noise words".

The search function on esato sucks, I never find what im looking for even if I type the title of the thread.
Someone agree?
search for five words: search function on esato sucks
and its #1.
you're searching for content, not the title, and its good at searching out CONTENT.
What if you dont know the content?
For example when I look for a technical inquiry and cant find the answer, I post and then everyone flames me.
