| Description | Couple of issues I am having with search, the first being no results for a single term (ie, Madonna) whereas a term such as 'Britney Spears' would return results when both exist in a Gallery.
The other problem I have noticed is that if you enter a meta tag such as '2017 Releases' there is no + automagically added between the two terms (which exist on a single line). Adding the + manually returns the results, so just wondering if there is any reason not to return on terms entered. |

Keyword search for spaces with keywords has now been improved for this case.
Not sure you got what I meant and I'm not sure I get what you meant about adding "'s around a single term. I don't need to do that on any other site search, you enter a single term like Madonna and if there's any results you get them.
This is a bit confusing to read, because "+" in a URL is a space. Also sometimes "%20" is used for the same thing. This is because URLs cannot contain spaces.
If it didn't have a "+" then that implies there was a space in the URL (which would be fine as the browser would auto fix that), or it was joined like "2017Releases" which I don't think is true.
I think you're actually saying you altered the search term in the search box (not the URL itself).
You are right there's a bug there, it should have quoted the tag in the tag link. I hadn't realised you were talking about tag links from content, I thought you were just talking about you typed in. I have fixed that for the next RC.
I wouldn't expect 'Except One' to return a result as both those words are likely 'stop words' in MySQL, i.e. ignored. If you put it in quotes though it will use a different algorithm that doesn't strip stop words out. I think. It gets complex due to the various limitations with MySQL, like the commonality limitation (i.e. if you have just 1 or 2 test content entries, search results may be missing because MySQL won't return more than 50% of a result set back to you).
