Joomla 1.0 PHP 5.4 Search Fix
Budget: €20 – €50 EUR
My Joomla 1.0 website, which runs on PHP 5.4 and displays Portuguese song lyrics, has been experiencing issues with its search function after the upgrade to UTF-8. The search function is not returning accurate results.
Key Issues:
- Handling of accents and special characters: The search function should return results regardless of whether the search is performed on keyboards without accents or special characters.
- Partial match functionality: The search should return results even if only part of the title is entered, with or without accents.
Most Critical Search Criteria: The search function is primarily focused on the song title.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficiency in Joomla 1.0 and PHP 5.4.
- Experience in optimizing search functions for handling special characters and partial matches.
- Understanding of UTF-8 encoding and its implications on search functions.
