>>That feature is VERY IMPORTANT and a main reason for being a paying member.

>>Another issue is the restriction. Many vfp-language keywords/functions are very short or contain numbers. You should at least allow those. Examples: GO, =, sys(1234).

>For just a few subscriptions per year, I really do not have the money to implement a Google like search engine on my site. This type of inclusions and the way you want it costs a lot of money. I went with what SQL Server is offering. Note that some of that you mentioned were also not supported in the VFP full text indexing third party engine I was using. This site also runs partially on my own money since a few years. So, I did my best to simplify, enhance and try to get more members. But, for just a few subscriptions per year, I just cannot offer the moon.

>I understand someone's paying for a service is a customer and someone using a free service is a user. As a coincidence, I read about that last night in an article about Facebook. We are all considered users but not customers. Those who are considered customers are those paying to put their publicity on their site. But, having said that, despite that the fact that you are paying, there are limits this product is bound to. There will always be limits. But, for that particular request, especially about indexing a single character word, this is really not possible.

Just a few? That sounds like 5 or 10, at the most. And 'my own money' sounds like a company losing money. I hope you have some ideas about what can be done when you are no longer able to keep it rolling.

Back to what it was about: the search options. You give an impression of me as being someone who asks the world for just some dollars. But in fact I'm only asking for something that I'm offering my own clients every day again. You need not tell me what SQL-Server is capable of and what not. It is absolutely capable of retrieving just that what I occasionally want: an absolute lookup. You promissed an exact search if the string was in (double) quotes and so far you have not done what you promissed. I don't care if it can only be done somewhat slowly, as long as it can be done.

I have the impression that your code still contains a bug, simple as that. If I enter a quoted string, then your program should not/never answer that digits, short words and the like are not permitted. It indicates that you pass the string to the wrong algorithm.

I'm not asking for the moon. I'm asking for the exact search you promissed time and again and have failed to deliver sofar.

UPDATE: I have attached a picture that proves that I enter a string in double quotes. And see what message appears!
