It's like the google now. Use "search term" or +"ron paul" or +microwave -oven. Click "advanced" next to search and you'll see what's up. It's superpowered compared to before. The only flaw is that it does and or search with a list of words and not prioritized by which videos have all four words vs. which ones just have "ron"

Yea, that's definitely a gripe of mine with this new search engine. The average user is going to be frustrated by this, methinks.

I've tinkered with the search feature to include all search terms by default. I was starting to get as frustrated as everyone else must have been. It should work much better now.

I second that. we're all used to google and it works well. as far as I'm concerned AND search should be the default for all engines for usability sake.

oh, finally! *quality

Awarding theaceofclubz with one star point for this contribution to Sift Talk - declared quality by looris.

still one *small* nitpick.

if I do NOT use double quotes ("), i would expect the search to return as first results the ones (if any) that would appear if I would've put them, and THEN the other ones.

i.e. try to write dick in a box in the search box. the video of dick in a box appears in second page! obviously if you put the quotes it's first and only result. I'd expect to get it as first even if I do not put the quotes, followed by eventually other relevant results.

I guess it requires two queries instead of one, so maybe it's been omitted because of that, but now knowing this software I'm not sure.

lucky I'm curious could you explain me this? if you don't fix it it's ok, but please satisfy my curiosity

Thanks for all the tips and help,
and a double thanks for the quality.

>>lucky I'm curious could you explain me this?

The technical reason for any quirkiness of the search feature is it's just how the database functions. Unfortunately, there's no possible way for us to sort search results according to the contents of the search query. Not the most ideal situation, but perhaps eventually we'll have a better alternative.

k thanks
