Forum Vbulletin Search is Critically broken 4.0.4
 

Sorry guys to harp on a dead whale (BP sick humor), but I'm building a new website and search functionality is going to be a major part of the paradigm......

Search is, quite simply broken, and needs to be fixed in 4.0.5 right now!

Here is the current FU.

• Click on advanced search. The default tab is multi content. I don't like it but whatever...
• for the search term, input the word - tracker
• for the user, input the vbulletin employee - Zachery
• Click on search now

Here is a screen shot

And here is the result

Huh? Zach has had multiple posts about the tracker! WTF?

Let's try it a different way!

• Click on advanced search. The default tab is multi content. I don't like it but whatever...
• for the search term, input the word - tracker
• for the user, input the vbulletin employee - Zachery
• Click on All Types
• Click on search now

Same fraking result

BUT if you click on the (not default) search tab (you know, the one that is first, and looks like it is the default, but isn't for some strange, only the programmers know, reason...., and the one you cannot visually tell is not the default,)

• Click on advanced search
• Click on search single content type
• Type in the word - tracker
• Type in the user - Zachery
• Click on search now

You get the following 91 results

This behavior is unacceptable and a show stopping bug.

And no, I will NOT file a bug report. Do it yourself, vbulletin.
