Searching for files

Just a comment with regards to the search system.

 

The current method you have implemented seems to take the entire textbox contents as the search criteria, for instance if I wanted to look for any mods with "TeamFF Fantasy Figures", if I typed "TeamFF figures" (without the quotation marks!!), the search would fail to find anything. I'm not suggesting implementing the complete google friendly "+" and "-" method, just that if a mod contains words which match the search criteria (regardless of the order of the words appearing), the results should be returned.

 

The reason for this is that when users use the search, it's usually because they vaguely remember something about the mod but not the entire name. Also could the search be extended to include the author's name, for instance if I searched for "blackie", all mods made or mentioning him would be returned?

 

The "Organise" part for ordering the results, also has a bug. It works fine when you click the page numbers, but when you click the ">>" to navigate, the ordering resets to "Name, Asc".

 

Thanks.
