Using quotes breaks Extensions search function

Post by jbudd » Sat May 12, 2007 7:04 am

The Extensions search seems rather eccentric:

I was looking for User Home Pages - http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... Itemid,35/

When i search for it returns 603 matches and UHP is not on the first page.

So, I search for <"user home pages"> as i might on google, and get 72 matches, UHP still not on the first page...
Click next to see the second page and it displays a list of all categories and all 1643 extensions.

I have now discovered from this forum that retrieves exactly the reults I want.

Perhaps space could be found under the search box to describe this trick?

Hi jbudd,

Thanks for your feedback.
That is correct. A search using user_home_pages would only return 3 relevant results.

We are working at a FAQ for Joomla! Extensions Directory, and will take this suggestion in consideration too  :)
