I've created the most advanced Post / Thread search imaginable. The ability to search for posts based on a variety of parameters is something I've always wanted personally, and I know a lot of you have as well. Here it is: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?type=searchHere's an example of it in action: Vizzed Minecraft Search And that'll bring up results like this:  And here's a closeup:  As you can tell, the page is loaded with features! Here's a list of all the features. - Powerful Search: The search results when ordered by relevance are incredibly powerful. The search ranks results by how closely they match what you typed. Matches in thread titles and descriptions count more than matches inside posts, and exact phrases or words near the beginning count even more.
- Exact Phrase Matching: Searches like mario 64 can still find and prioritize the exact phrase, even if part of the phrase is normally too short for regular full-text searching. Quoted searches like "Super Mario World" only return results with that exact phrase.
- Search Without Text: Users do not have to type anything into the search box. They can search using only filters, such as user, forum, rating, word count, date range, or post status.
- Search Options: Users can choose whether to search post text, thread titles, thread descriptions, or any combination of those.
- User x: Users can filter results by a specific member. The user box also auto-completes names, making it easier to find the right account. This dropdown behaves similar to the one on the Memberlist page that I recently updated.
- Forum x: Users can limit results to a specific forum.
- Time Frame x: Users can search only posts made between two dates. They can use a start date, an end date, or both.
- Rating x: Users can search by minimum and maximum post rating, including negative ratings.
- Word Count x: Users can filter posts by minimum and maximum word count. Max Words defaults to 10,000, which helps avoid extremely long posts unless the user wants them.
- Power Level x: Users can filter posts by the poster’s power level.
- Void x: Users can filter based on whether a post was voided or not. This makes it easier to review ignored or non-ignored posts separately. NOTE: Most old posts have had their words Voided from someone hacking the site in the past, I plan to come up with a good solution to fix this while trying to keep the posts that should be voided still voided.
- Result Ordering: Users can sort results in many different ways, including relevance, newest, oldest, likes, dislikes, rating, word count, thread title, post ID, and user power level.
- Highlighted Search Terms: Matching search terms are highlighted directly in the results. Stronger matches appear more solid, while weaker matches are still visible with lighter highlighting.
- View Options: Users can choose how much of each result to show. They can show full post layouts, hide layouts, or hide post contents and only show the thread/title information.
- Fast Results: While the results might not see incredibly fast, a lot of time went into optimizing the page as much as possible to make it as fast as it possibly can be. Keep in mind that it's having to search through roughly 1.5 million posts.
- And more: There's tons of other things like the standard 'Posts Per Page' dropdown.
Along with all of the search features, there's also really cool statistics based on all of posts found by the search. Here's a list of those: - Unique Forums: Number of different forums found in the results.
- Top Forums: The top 3 forums found, with post counts.

- Top Users: The top 3 users found, with post counts.
