Common word threshold setting on the forum (phpBB)

Post by SA0BUX » Mon Aug 21, 2023 3:17 pm

Hi

Would it be possible to investigate if the "Common word threshold" can be increased in the forum.
Increase the Common word threshold on the search settings page. The default is 5%, depending on the board, somewhere between 10 and 60% may be more useful.
You need to recreate the search index.


I think this would make it easier to find if a post/question exists so that users don't post similar questions all the time.

( I tried to find out when the frequency calibration range was changed for RT3S but failed to find something , I think I saw it in some new beta post )

Just use an external search engine like Bing or Google to search only in this site

Their algorithms and available processing power are far greater than PHPBB on my shared server
