Here is a search that I am making to see my problem view this: [url]http://www.d-top.org/search/?q=a&Submit=Search
Now take one of the descriptions, and mess the words up a little, in the search box it should find what you searched for, but it doesn’t. Any idea how to make my code do that?
You also can’t take a keyword, and mix it with a something that isn’t a key word. For example Newgrounds is on the list for the title, and the one of the keywords for it is flash. You can’t search for “newgrounds flash”, because it will find nothing.
Here is the code:
