I tried again with a different email and did not get one again, you should try to ask your host or check your error logs.

Thanks,

I think that was our compromise for not having almost all listings return for simple searches, the search words are UNEXACT for the title and slightly more exact for the post content:
Example:

wp_posts.post_title LIKE "asian food" 
                OR ( wp_posts.post_title LIKE "asian" 
                      OR wp_posts.post_title LIKE "asian%" 
                      OR wp_posts.post_title LIKE "% asian%" ) 
                OR ( wp_posts.post_title LIKE "food" 
                      OR wp_posts.post_title LIKE "food%" 
                      OR wp_posts.post_title LIKE "% food%" ) ) 
              OR ( wp_posts.post_content LIKE "asian food" 
                    OR wp_posts.post_content LIKE "asian food%" 
                    OR wp_posts.post_content LIKE "% asian food%" 
                    OR wp_posts.post_content LIKE "%>asian food%" 
                    OR wp_posts.post_content LIKE "% asian food%" )

As i have said before, if we can find an perfect solution i would be more than happy to implement it.

Giving the option to use EXACT or UNEXACT i guess could be an option but i am not sure the demand is there for it numbers wise.

If it was left UNEXACT and ratings were added and someone searched for “band” and then order by rating you might get a computer repair shop that has “bandwidth” in the description first.

The only thing i though of in the past was doing something like order by “Relevance + Highest rated” where we take the rating and add it into the weighted calculation, but this way you might not have the highest rated fist or even in order, but something more relevant but with a higher rating. It could also get complicated depending on the sort type.

Again, feedback welcome…
