Hello Mark,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. I am not too sure if making the search for title would help search easier but what you can do here is to edit the file /components/com_easyblog/models/search.php and at line 110 locate the block of codes below,

		foreach ($words as $word)
		{
			$word		= $db->Quote( '%'.$db->getEscaped( $word, true ).'%', false );
			
			$where[]	= 'a.`title` LIKE ' . $word;
			$where[]	= 'a.`content` LIKE ' . $word;
			$where[]	= 'a.`intro` LIKE ' . $word;
			
			$where2[]	= 't.title LIKE ' . $word;
			$wheres2[]	= implode( ' OR ' , $where2	);
			
			$wheres[] 	= implode( ' OR ', $where );					
		}

Replace it with the following,

		foreach ($words as $word)
		{
			$word		= $db->Quote( '%'.$db->getEscaped( $word, true ).'%', false );
			
			$where[]	= 'a.`title` LIKE ' . $word;
			
			$where2[]	= 't.title LIKE ' . $word;
			$wheres2[]	= implode( ' OR ' , $where2	);
			
			$wheres[] 	= implode( ' OR ', $where );					
		}

This way, the search in EasyBlog would only search for the titles only.

that's perfect thanks, that makes it much easier, search now returning the correct 14 matches I needed for example as opposed to over 970!

Thanks again

Mark
