What gives?! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Better Search - Relevant search results for WordPress] Better Search 2.1.0 Boolean Operators Stopped Working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/better-search-210-boolean-operators-stopped-working/) * Thread Starter [barryclasper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barryclasper/) * (@barryclasper) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/better-search-210-boolean-operators-stopped-working/#post-7240082) * Following are the search tests I’m doing. The search arguments are _this way_, and the expected result follows. _srchterm_ will show all (4) articles with test search terms _srchterm1_ (or _+srchterm1_) will show 3 articles containing that search term _srchterm1 srchterm2_ will show 4 articles having one or the other or both _-srchterm1 srchterm2_ will show 1 article having srchterm2 and not srchterm1 _-srchterm1 -srchterm3_ will show no results (Even though logic says it should be lots – everything not containing those items. But I can live with it.) _srchterm1 -srchterm2 -srchterm3_ will show 1 result * After cloning the production site, I ran those tests before upgrading to 2.1.0. They worked as expected. I upgraded to 2.1.0 and the results changed. Nothing else was updated between the before and after tests. Under 2.1.0 it appears the boolean operators are being stripped off the search argument before the search is done. Multiple terms all become a logical OR regardless of the operators entered. * The production site is at [http://callerlabknowledge.org](http://callerlabknowledge.org) and it is still running 2.0.1. The clone site is at [http://f53.fce.myftpupload.com/](http://f53.fce.myftpupload.com/) and is now running 2.1.0 * Here are the options specified in the Settings for Better Search: **Enable seamless integration?** Unchecked **Enable search tracking?** Checked **Track visits of admins?** Checked **Track visits of editors?** Checked **Enable cache:** Checked** Stop search engines from indexing search results pages** Checked **Link to plugin homepage** Unchecked **Number of Search Results per page** 10 **Post types to include in results** post, page, attachment **Enable mySQL FULLTEXT searching** Checked **Activate BOOLEAN mode of FULLTEXT search** Checked **Weight of title** 1 **Weight of the content** 10 **Highlight search terms** Checked **Include thumbnails in search results** Unchecked **Length of excerpt (in words)** 200 **Filter these words** (none entered) **Include heatmap on the search results** Unchecked ** Custom CSS** (out of the box) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Better Search - Relevant search results for WordPress] Better Search 2.1.0 Boolean Operators Stopped Working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/better-search-210-boolean-operators-stopped-working/) * Thread Starter [barryclasper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barryclasper/) * (@barryclasper) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/better-search-210-boolean-operators-stopped-working/#post-7240066) * Boolean is turned on. It works on 2.0.1 but not on 2.1.0. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Quest] Internal Server Error with Quest Theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-with-quest-theme/) * Thread Starter [barryclasper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barryclasper/) * (@barryclasper) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-with-quest-theme/#post-6721362) * I do not have Quest Plus installed. I could take a look at the error logs if I knew where to find them. (I’m a complete rookie to all this). On the GoDaddy site the File Manager for my site shows a “logs” folder under the Root directory. I did a search on the work “error” and there was nothing. I’m not sure the error logs would be in there. Can you tell me where they might be? Barry Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total)
