XF 1.3 Searching by Prefix On Posts

[arms]

It doesn't make it clear in "Search Threads and Posts", that if you specify a prefix, you can only search the threads. I can think of many times that you'd want to search for posts within a thread with a specific prefix.

Should you be able to?

prefix of XF 1.3 and search for the word "Authentication". The page above does not appear.

Would this be considered a bug?

from what I can see the _md_prefix_ is added to the metadata field of posts in xf_search_index.

The is similar to another issue (that is something that would be fixed in the future), but the prefix is only associated with the first post of a thread.

So unfortunately there isn't a way around it right now.
