[SOLVED] Url encoded entities not working when searching

[tic]

Hi guys

I just signed up with these new forums and hopefully if I get a chance to update the Gdip library, will completely rewrite it for use with AHK_L only and ditch old compatibility.

I notice that you cannot search for + for example in GDI+ as it comes up with no results.
I assume it is searching for literal "GDI%2B" as it doesn't decode the search parameter.

Is there a testing and staging site for the forums? I offered my assistance on the old forums but didn't get a positive response from Titan/Polythene.

I have been a long-term member as some may know and would like to assist with ahkscript.org and move any of my projects off the autohotkey.com forums.

Thanks guys

Hey tic! I haven't really run into this issue, as I do all my searching via my IRC bot in #ahkscript. He runs queries through Google "site:ahkscript.org" instead of through the forum. Anyways, welcome to the forum!

Welcome to ahkscript tic!
I'll try to fix this problem in a couple of days, I'm currently taking a short trip. Anyway, enjoy your "stay"!

Hey tic welcome to the new forum! There is a search bar on the ahkscript.org homepage which is made by joedf if I recall correctly.

@xZomBie You are right, that search can be used too.
I still got to fix the forum search page tho... here: http://ahkscript.org/boards/search.php

Topic marked solved.

[...] Ah and my initial thought that the + is being encoded is probably nonsense. I forgot that + and - can be used to determine whether results are included or excluded in forum search results.
