I want to search for posts containing an ip, eg "219.93.218.176"
But the search function returns no results. Used google, no go.
then i tried wildcard like 219*176 -> too many results!

So can we search for patterns like "192.168.1.1" or "192-168-1-1" etc......

So in the index, that appears as 219, 93, 218, 176 separately.

Ah... no wonder no results.

The query you should enter is thus: +219_ +"218_ 176_"

Thanks! Putting underscore works.

Out of curiosity i also tried +219* +"218* 176*" but failed. Shouldn't the asterisk, while acting as wildcard, also "bring it up to the 4 char limit"?
