Hi there

I know it's hard to test, but I think the search needs some help, or I am not using it right.

I have an email that has a create table script in it for SQL:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CatDog](
[OperationID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[OperationDesc] [varchar](35) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[OperationTypeCode] [char](1) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL)


I type "Create Table" into search, and I get 600 results, my create script email is nowhere to be found. I think that it needs more contextual searching, right now, I think it is locating "create" all over the place, and not looking for the literal phrase "create table". I tried quotes to no avail. X1 found this instantly and it was hit #1.

Is there a tweak I can do, or is there some way to trigger better searching? It is my goal to replace x1, but I cannot at this time due to searching inconsistencies. Thanks!

Right now the search does not support modifiers, but this is something they are working on...please hang tight ;)

Great. I would love to see some of the old "Lookout" searching functions brought back from the dead. I don't think my reported issues is really just a "need a modifier" issue though, my search criteria were not used together, but the search appeared to only function on my first keyword. Are you saying that right now, the search is acting on only on one keyword?

Thanks!
