Sublime Forum

Search term 'font' not allowed

#1

Iā€™m trying to hunt down posts on font size and spacing. I was surprised to find, though, that ā€˜fontā€™ was considered too common for search; type ā€˜fontā€™ into the search box and you get a message telling you your search canā€™t be completed.

This is a bit of a problem on a forum for a text editor, I think. Iā€™d suggest it gets removed from the list of too-common words. Other banned words include;

  • line
  • plugin
  • api

This may help point Jon or Nick in the right direction: phpbb.com/bugs/phpbb3/ticket ā€¦ t_id=37985

I agree, It is kind of annoying.
So, I just use google for my searches now :smile:

yep, me too! :wink:

Hereā€™s something nice about firefox I hadnā€™t realised ā€“

  • right-click on the search box in this forum.
  • Choose ā€˜Add a keyword for this searchā€¦ā€™.
  • enter name=ā€œSublime Text Forum Searchā€, keyword=ā€œsublā€, then accept.
  • type, eg ā€˜subl antialiasingā€™ into firefoxā€™s location bar.

Itā€™ll jump straight into sublimeā€™s forum search page with the term you specified. Neat!

For those using Chrome, click on the tools icon -> Options -> Manage (in the Default Search area)
You should see a list of the websites where chrome automatically found search boxes.

To add sublime textā€™s forums, you can use:

http://www.google.com/search?&q=site:http://www.sublimetext.com/forum %s

or, even better (not sure if itā€™s related to the Site Search paid service):

http://www.google.com/search?sitesearch=http://www.sublimetext.com/forum&as_q=%s

Then choose a keyword et voilĆ .

Google is fine for most needs but only drawback is that you canā€™t search current topics made before the indexing happens againā€¦ which it might or might not be a biggie.

For example try searching for this topicā€¦
