"all of these terms" OR "any of these terms" searches

[crankshaft]

Is there some functionality available for allowing "any of these terms" or "all of these terms" in the search form? I see that AND is the default -- I'm getting 'no search results found' on searches that include a single hard-to-find word.

Is there a hack/mod already available for this? I couldn't find anything; I'd like to know if something is available before I alter the code. Or, will this be incorporated into version 2.0?

Thanks.

Currently there is no option for something like this, and as far as I know nobody has posted a hack for it. Something like this *may* be added in v2.0, but has not been added yet.

Thanks Brian.

I'll add my vote to an option like this for 2.0. I hope it's feasible to implement.

I know that the vBulletin default search is "all", and the search interface for vBAdvanced is similarly designed. One good point in favor of an "any" search for vBAdvanced Links is that directory titles/descriptions/keywords typically have much less text than forum posts, so they're much more likely to return zero results for an "all" search.

Moving this to the feedback forum to be sure that I see it when working on new versions. ;)
