From my site's search field (FP2002 > insert > web component > web search >
current web):
if I search by 2 words <b>unemployment benefits</b> i get 250 results.
if I search by 2 quoted words <b>"unemployment benefits"</b> i get No Results.
The search page itself contains the phrase -in quotes - "unemployment
benefits" as an example, so at least that page should theoretically show up,
I would think.
Where do I start looking?
I've been looking into this a little further... is it that FrontPage just
doesn't know how to handle the quotes? Initially, I had surmised that the
search bot thought that if I entered "unemployment benefits" that it would
give me a page that contained the entire phrase, including the quotes.
No such luck.
Based on the fact that the search page itself
(http://www.rrb.gov/searchrrb.html) contains the word "unemployment"
actually including the quotation marks, thought it would be a good example.
Unemployment - 248 pages returned
"Unemployment" - 248 pages returned
Unemployment<space> - 248 pages returned
"Unemployment " - 0 pages returned
So it seems that the quotes are disregarded until a space is included
between them.
unemployment and benefits - 248 pages returned
"unemployment benefits" - 0 pages returned
'unemployment benefits' - 0 pages returned
(unemployment benefits) - 248 pages returned
Soooooooooooo...
how exactly DO you search a FP web by a string of consecutive words??
Very Frustrating...
