i have made a breakthrough at least it's one for me so yeah I have a website. I wanted to have a search thing. And I FINALLY got it to work the way I want. (that includes keeping the search query in the text box, and some other stuff) So, yeah. I felt like I should put some screenshots so you can see what I've been working on. Here they are! Note the difference between each search query. If you search for "e", I have programmed the search so any user or thread with an "e" in its username/title will appear. Now, look at the second picture. I search for "the". Since there is no thread with the word "the" in its title, but there IS a user, it will show the user but not the thread. And now, look at the third one. Same thing as the first. Anyway, I just thought this was pretty cool. If you would like to see how I did it, please PM me!
