Search syntax

I couldn't find anywhere what is the correct syntax to search on Drupal. If I just type: "word1 word2", I would get all nodes that have either words. Is there a document explaining the correct way to search?

Enabling "contact form" leads to spam mail from a user

Not sure, why they would use the contact form this way?

Use of keywords ?

Hi everyone !

I'm gonna have a try writing in english. I apology for my bad english, but my mother tongue is french.

At the moment, my website is running under SPIP 1.8.1, a french CMS.

This CMS offers me the very best I need to complete my encyclopedic website (fansite). This very best is the use of keywords.

Unfortunately, my ideas to make the website bigger and bigger are going far beyond the possibilities of SPIP. Like, for an exemple, the creation of sections allowing to make some small amateurs movies (short movies) known from the public. SPIP doesn't allow me to do that. Most of all, his rigidity doesn't make it quite good for an awesome design.

I'm searching for a CMS offering a download manager, forums, articles, news, ...

Easy will you say ! Drupal is doing all that !

But the problem would have been way to easy to solve... And that's my problem. I must use keywords. As this is an encyclopedic website (fansite, I repeat myself ;) ), and as I studied some SGBD, I have a vision of my website very from the database point of view. Keywords are answering my questions. 1 keyword can be used 1, or infinity (SGBD knowers will recognised themselves). An article can be defined by different keywords. All of this allows a good presentation on the screen of the details (called by the keywords, who are making the definition and the résumé). It allows also to surf the website freely, going from 1 keyword to another, or linking information who have normally no relations between them, except sharing one or more common keywords. That's what gives my website that encyclopedic feeling.

Can drupal do this?

We're looking at building a recruitment website and want to set it up so that users have their own individual accounts and can log in to view jobs that are relevant to them based on criteria that they've selected i.e. location, salary, job type etc. If possible I'd also like to set it up so that the system notifies them by email if a job meeting their requirements is added to the site. Can Drupal do this or could be fairly easily customised to do it?

Length of trimmed posts

How do you guys go about the lenght of posts? I don't want a specific number of characters for teasers, because it sometimes cuts the story in the wrong place. In Wordpress there is a tag (I think [more]?) that you can insert into the post manually at any point to break the post. Is there a similar thing in Drupal?

My site hacked in 60 minutes

Hello, I had just posted this message in the themeing section http://drupal.org/node/21059 and 60 minutes later my site, http://www.bonospoquer.com is being redirected to a porn page. Fortunately the site was a test preliminar site, and I have backups from all, but, how the hell can this happen?

I was using drupal 4.5.
