Search function feeds a lot of spam

At a forum with more than 30 000 entries you need a proper working search function to find something without great loss of time. And unless I remember me right the search function in MFK 1.7 worked fine with senseful results.

But in MLF 2.0 I get always a lot of spam parallel to the useful results, e.g. "entries" when I'm looking for IE. So I want to ask, is there a way to get better search results without such kind of spam? Or with other words: is there a chance to get back in MLF 2.0 the search function of MLF 1.7?

Hi Floxx,

But in MLF 2.0 I get always a lot of spam parallel to the useful results, e.g. "entries" when I'm looking for IE.

The search function hasn't been changed much since version 1.7:

But you're right: it's no real search function with search index. I already thought about this feature but still didn't have time to implement it.

For that you need (at least) another two database tables: one with all words used in the forum (except for stop words) and the other one containing the IDs of all entries (and word frequencies/relevance) referencing the table with the words. Furthermore a mechanism to update this index is required (either performed every time an entry is added/edited/deleted or once per a certain period of time).

Looks for a lot of work for you ...

No way to implement the standard Google search script? I'm no programmer, so I have to ask that.
