Am I the only one for whom the search function won't work?
I can put in the most general of searches such as "CAA" and it never finds any threads.
:confused:

dp,
Try extending the search range. ie Find posts from 'Any Date' rather than just 'A Month Ago'.
Try using longer words. I suspect that the engine doesn't bother searching for terms of 3 letters or less.

Works OK for me. I tried several searches, and each time it came back
with many pages of threads......

Ok thanks guys. Looks like it's just me :ugh:
It's not just you - the search excludes words less than 4 characters.

It doesn't seem to like wildcards either. If you try and use one, it tells you it's under the minimum word length ... even if it's not. :confused:
