Expanding Search Capabilities
Has anyone been able to expand the search capabilities of DBMan? For example, searching with multiple keywords but they can be found anywhere in a recordset... not just in a row.
Example:

Search string: "bought car"

Search Fields:

Title: My New Car
Body: I just bought myself something.

It would return this record because the string "bought car" was found regardless if it was verbatim or not.

I have no clue how to pull this off with Perl so any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

DBMan currently can search multiple fields, but does not break down the search into keywords. So a search for 'bought car' would match if the phrase 'bought car' appeared in any field, but not if the words didn't appear together.

I'm looking to add that feature into the next release, but that won't be for awhile.

Cheers,

Alex
