Search Function

[dublinpilot]

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.

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.


HTH,

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

[dublinpilot]

Ok thanks guys. Looks like it's just me

It's not just you - the search excludes words less than 4 characters.

[dublinpilot]

Ah, thank you Drauk

That must be why they put the "F" in "RTFM"

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.
