As designed Search with the word GIF

[Old Nick]

Affected version

2.3.2

It's not a big problem but I'll point it out anyway: if you use the search with the word GIF, the results will show all posts containing a GIF...

You’re on 2.3.1? 2.3.2 is out now.

Corrected.

regular search or with enhanced search?

 

[Old Nick]

Here on XF, search pop-up.

That is because posts containing GIFs contain the word gif as a result of the file extension being .gif.

If you searched for jpg or png you would see a similar result.

If you searched for img you would find all posts containing an IMG BB code.

Same with quote, code, spoiler etc.

This is just expected.

I wonder if it's worth trying @AndyB add-on advanced word search
