Forum search is not working right?

Hey, is it me or is the forum search broken? When i use the exact match function it doesnt return results of the exact keyphrase but just generic results. I.e. if i search for: Tropical Citron, i dont get specific topics/posts about the manga "Tropical Citron" but topics/posts which have the words of either tropical or citron. Thats very impractical.
Please fix this! Thanks.

Hi,
I will check this out tonight. It may just be a bug.
Thank you

It should be working better now. I tweaked the 'fulltext' search option to boost results that exactly match your query, so it should be good enough, but I also tweaked the exact method to only return exact methods. Let me know if it works.

I still think that search by description is broken. For instance, if I search "dog", then only the first page will be displayed. Clicking "next page" will return results on page 2 as if you searched "dog" in the title, not on description.

Should be fixed now. Thanks for the report. Do you feel the search is generally better otherwise?
