The tag cloud as well as the search has problems with compound words:

I have the tag "group" in my tag cloud an submit a new story with the tag "working group". Pligg creates a tag "working group" and displays the tag "group" bigger. A click on the tag "group" shows the stories with "group" and "working group" tags

Edit: I haven´t changed the separator, it´s still the colon (,)!

i haven't tried this, but does it make a difference if you submit the tag as: "working group" or "working+group"?

I can´t persuade my members to use "non-natural" characters like "+". Either I allow compound words or I forbid them. If last they would lose all their motivation to tag the stories.

[P1mpPanther]

Understand tbones, ultimately its about the user experience since we're dealing with user driven content.

I was just curious as to whether it worked or not since there might be a way to hack it so compound words have a "+" automatically added for them upon submission.

Just a thought...

I´ve tested it:
"working+group" has the same sideeffects as "working group".

Has this been fixed with revision 1200?
SourceForge.net Repository - [pligg] Revision 1200

Yup, i "fixed" it.

It's actually a quickfix, so not the best solution, but it works.

the tag "hello world" searches for all stories with hello AND world, because $tag_url = "hello+world"

the tag "hello-world" only searches for "hello world", so i replaced the + (plus) in the tags with - (minus). It works, but now you will see those minus signs in the title , breadcrumb and header.

I fixed that in search.php (line 58)

$search->searchTerm = str_replace("-", " ", $search->searchTerm); // Steef 2k7-07 tag search fix

Haven't committed that part to the SVN, because i guess there is a better solution and we don't want crappy legacy patch code in pligg

I would suggest single quotation marks (') to label a search for a compound word.
