Searches

Okay. So how in the *#@** do you use the search feature? It doesn't matter what I try to search I just keep getting an error that states my search doesn't have enough words or enough letters in the words. If I can input a subject on the site that uses a three letter word, then I should be able to use that word in my search.

Can you fix it???

Arggghhhhhhh.

Terry,
Put your question in quotes: "Pig" for example.

Unfortunately, the forum default is longer than three letters. In order to change that, the search function has to recalibrate every single word in the entire forum, which would require the forum to be down for several days.

The newer versions of the forum software handle the search differently, so it will work without the quotes when we update the site in the near future.

hi terry, an even better solution is to put a wild card,,,like if you want search for eye you write

eye*

into the searchbox, and then it finds you all posts where the word eye is included, so also posts with the word eyes or eyelid etc...

Thanks guys. I did finally find what I was searching for. Lucked up as I used a one word search and it worked instead of the entire title, or what I thought it was.
