It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 42038
interpreted = N
texte = I'm doing a pretty simple search for now . . . .This works fine as shown.Example 1: Allow the user to choose which field will be searched:
Message   Topic   Both
Example 2: Search two fields from a single text box:
Search for:
BUT If I try the above using contexts . . . . The following is will not allow me to search the 2 fields Topic+Message at the same time. I keep getting all of the posts in the database, not just the one like in the example above. All others work well.What silly thing am I overlooking??
Search In: Message Topic Both


Match all of the words
Match any of the words
Match the phrase EXACTLY

I added this to my results page to see what was actually being passed and found in my search. It looked OK, but again when I looked in both Message+Topic all the records were pulled..The Search was for:
group1comp = [group1comp]
group1field = [group1field]
group1data = [group1data]
forum = [forum]
