As far as I know phpbb doesn't have groups, I didn't search to see if there
was a mod to do that thought.
The other day I did a search on another phpbb forum for 'net::ping'
which is technically one word.
3500+ posts returned either with net or ping but not 'net::ping'.
Ended up googling the same forum for it and at least google returned
6 post with 'net::ping'.
With that I would say the phpbb search is pretty much worthless and
that is why most newcomers can't find what their looking for.
BTW I also tried "net::ping" and recieved the same results, the search
parsed the line for net & ping.
Something is fundimentally wrong with the phpbb search function, it's worthless the way it is.
There is no search option for exact match search...!!
Also the old contribs site did a 1000X better job searching and it searched
the entire contribs site.
Someone a one time took some time to set that up and now it's gone.
Well out with the old and in with the new, even if the old worked a treat..!!
What a shame, someone's hard work down the drain.
