Having trouble finding the TP extended search function as described in SEARCH FUNCTIONALITY (https://www.tinyportal.net/docs/index.php?page=60) and shown on the Docs site.

I have 'Enable TinyPortal full text search" checked in settings.

But the Search box options available in the block type drop down only seem to include the standard SMF search.

So we get the standard SMF search box in the block.

Is there another setting somewhere for the TP Extended Search?

That is done by a php block. If you choose PHP then look in the block code list you should have one called search articles.

Click search on the main menu, you should see a header with Extended Search on it, and below that "Search Articles"

Here's what I did.

Add block and choose 'Search articles Written by tinoest'

Edit the block and select Search articles > Insert code > Overwrite (plus title, activate etc)

Search box appears in panel OK.

Search for a term (even though there is no data in this site's database)

No results returned as expected. No error messages.

Then follow the same setup procedure on a site containing both SMF data and TP articles. Then enter the search term 'franky' and we get an error message.

Same search term seems to work OK in standard SMF search box. Is there something else I need to do?

If you disable the fulltext search it should work.

For some reason when you selected fulltext it hasn't changed the database.

Disabled 'Enable TinyPortal full text search' and yes, it will now search for a single word OK.

Quote from: tinoFor some reason when you selected fulltext it hasn't changed the database.

What is the change required to the database? Is there another way I can make that happen?

Do you have to have search Fulltext index enabled in SMF for this to work?

If so, Admin > Forum > Search >> Search Method

Good thought Mick, but unfortunately we have the same error message.
