    Search for 100 instead... $ is a special search operator that always has to have something before it.

    Better , And can you add a feature to filter the results ? For example I only want to search in "Sent" PMs instead of all .

    Isn't the search bar a string? Why does PHP still see the dollar sign as an operator?

    No, it has nothing to do with PHP. For searching, $ is a special search operator meaning the end of a document (like a regular expression). See the bottom of this for more info: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_board_faq#faq_searching_sphinx

    The original query that started this thread was telling the search engine to look for 100, but only if it was included AFTER the end of the item being searched (obviously you can't have something after the end).
