which begets the question: what is the prize? :) btw, good job, WordZilla.. now to undo the habit of searching from Fx's search plugins..

that depends on if i have to give it out. if not, it's a million dollars. if so, it's a piece of gum and a kind word.

I searched for the message telling me that I'd won all of the prizes in this month's draw, but it couldn't be found!

DC SMF Search Mod is out!
https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=9134.msg67388#msg67388
Improvements to existing SMF code
* Significant reduction of missing results (now very rare)
* Less noise and therefore reasonably better relevance
* Enhanced phrase search
* Intelligent handling for ‘ apostrophes and – dashes
* Supports short keywords (3 characters or less)
* Supports stopwords (clichés)
* Selectively expanding the search by finding keyword inflections
Features unique to this mod
Active board ranking heuristic (based on mouser’s suggestion)

Now u can even search phrases with ' apostrophe(s) in them, e.g. "it's worth it", "mouser's"
At last I no longer have to send my little bot to crawl DC forum twice-monthly! ;D
I hope other SMFers will find it useful as well.
