#3177 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

"quoted strings" should work in the search box

Reported by: ringmaster's profile ringmaster Owned by: ringmaster's profile ringmaster
Milestone: 2.1 Priority: normal
Severity: normal Version: 2.0
Component: Administration Keywords: search quotes has-patch
Focuses: Cc:

Description

When searching for a quoted string, the words in the quoted string should not be broken up and search for separately.

The attached patch includes support for such searches as:

stuff "other things"

This will find posts that match both "stuff" and "other things".

Check stripslashes() calls, please.

​By request.

Could this be applied to the 2.0 branch ? Every time a security fix comes for 2.0 then I have to re-apply this wonderful patch.
