Excluding Signatures from Search

[sudrien]

... And a signature-only search.


The first I'm actually surprised is not an option - a checkbox - at the bottom of /search/?type=post

The second I'd presume would require a new search type, something like /search/?type=signature

My moderators are finding the artificially lengthened search lists making it harder to do their work.

I don't believe that signatures are included in search content by default. Your second suggestion is a good idea though I only see it being used for staff purposes. That said, it's better to make a separate suggestion thread to keep better track and discussion of the suggestions individually.

Daniel, My testing shows otherwise - signatures do effect post search. Though I suppose I could rebuild my indexes and try again.

https://xenforo.com/community/threads/signature-only-search.111223/ split off, then.

Signatures are definitely not included in search results. I'd be curious where you're seeing this?

Sorry for the slow reply - it seems the search index rebuild did effect the result. I apologize for not doing my own debugging first.
