I am getting this message when I try to search the fourms, (index post,postdelta: syntax error, unexpected $end near '') . I think it has something to do with ("), my search was {2.5" drive}.

Also is there some way we could get digits in searches, I can't do a search for "nexus 7" without it only searching for "Nexus" and pulling up all the devices, likewise I can't search for "2.5 drive" without it omitting the "2.5" and just searching for drive.
 
This has been a problem for years on most messageboard software out of the box. It can be changed, and the behaviors can be limited. But it isn't as easy as just changing a few lines of code.

There's always an implicit AND operator, that means "2.5 drive" query actually means 2.5 & drive, you can't put a single quote in the search query, this is a design flaw not of vbulletin or sphinx, but of the coding used to intertwine the two, so that the searching is removed from the DB which is a really slow process.

The digit isnt actually the issue, its actually omitting the period, nor would it pull up a single digit, as its under the search length terms.

Sorry, but the error isnt going to be fixed, do not place single quotes in your query string.

Sorry, but that is not a problem with the message board software, this site doesnt use vb's built in search, this is also not a problem with vbulletins search either.
