Searching the forums has unpredicatable behaviour. Some terms get found and some not, try searching for one of the feedback topics that contains 'ability to forward'. Also it doesn't show a 'No results found' message.

    Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

    Hi Tom,

    We use certain stop keywords like "and" , "to" , etc which are to be ignored during search, so you can use Keywords search like 'ability forward" , if you want to search for "ability to forward". Although, we will address this and ensure, even stop keywords like "and" or "to" are also included.

     

    thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    regards

    Hi Vijay,

     

    Thanks again for the quick response. Will you also address the 'no results found' issue?

    Also I would like to raise another thing that I noticed. As a notice to your reply on my question I received an HTML (content-type: text/html) email without new lines.

    Like this:

    It would be great to be able to see new lines as well as have a link to the forum message so that I don't have to search for the topic again.

     

    Thanks.

    Have this problem also. Yesterday I read this forum post https://support.freshdesk.com/categories/2/forums/6/topics/4724 and remember it. Today I decided to vote on it and it was not easy to find it, bacause if you search it with the word "Solutions", "Solution", "solution", "Name", "Ability" and so on there is no this topic in results, but with the word "rename" it appears. I suppose this is because search function display only 10 first results, if so, then how can we see more results?

    Hi Folks

    Sorry for the trouble caused here.

    We are going to be making some changes in the upcoming weeks to our system and we hope to make some enhancements on search as well.

    I have already raised this but will try to move the developers little bit more on this regards

    Vijay
