It doesn't seem to be working properly. I searched for "Stephen Ireland" and it doesn't bring up the Stephen Ireland thread. All I get back is posts about Ireland and weird results.

Have you tried boolean search .... i.e. "Stephen Ireland" or Stephen+Ireland

Worth a shot !!

yep, no joy though. This is the first post it finds:
http://foot.ie/showpost.php?p=57714&postcount=1

No mention of Ireland, just a Stephen.

Foot.ie doesn't currently support to fulltext boolean search. I'll switch it back to regular indexing, fulltext indexing isn't working very well. Won't be working until Monday though, the indexing takes ages.

Finished now. Stephen Ireland thread turns up as result 5 or summat.

Use the 'Search Titles Only' option in 'Advanced Search'. Much less rubbish results.

There's a knack to searching with vB, it can be a pain in the butt finding what you're looking for. It's definitely improved recently though
