Exact match search by username

[StewardManscat]

Not a priority item for me now, but I'd hope for a fix before going live. If I search for "Rat" (one of my favourite photo contributors), I get a hundred other names and photos from usernames containing "Rat". We're big on rodents I guess.

You can see the same action at the live demo. Two users, two photos: StewardManscat and StewardManscat2.

Search with exact match checked for StewardManscat finds both. Not an exact match.

Great product guys. Looking forward to it. Keep up the good work.

PS: The more I use vb, the more I discover what a blunt intrument the search facility is. I wonder if there's a hot-rod version over at the vbulletin.org....

Just replied to your ticket, but for anyone else who needs the fix as well:

Open your gallery/search.php file and look for this code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Replace it with this:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And that should take care of the problem.

I think $exactname a few lines above that needs to be changed to $exactusername also (where it checks to see if the username is less than 3 characters).

I could have swore I searched the file just to make sure that wasn't used anywhere else.
You are correct though.
