The following search constructs are supported:
some random phrase --> searches for posts containing all of the words "some", "random" and "phrase" (anywhere in the post).
"some random phrase" --> searches for posts containing "some random phrase" with the words in that exact order.
+word --> searches for posts containing the exact word (i.e., +foo will only match posts with the word "foo", not ones with "food").
-word --> searches for posts that do NOT contain the word.
user:John --> searches for posts where the user's name contains John. Matches both first and last name, so user:John would match both John Smith and Jim Johnson.
subject:foo --> searches for posts where foo is in the subject
You may want to update the string searchhelp in lang/en/moodle.php to reflect the new options.
All of this code should probably be examined for security implications. I'm a long way from being Petr Skoda.
Potential bugs: Though some effort was made to support PostgreSQL, the code needs testing under that platform.
Please let me know if you find any errors.
Enjoy!
I did a few quick tests and it worked perfectly!
