Search Function

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.

HTH,

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

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:
