Forum search not working.

[patpel]

Hi
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong (most likely) or not, but the forum search does not work.

I was doing a search for "sea ray" and it kept coming back with "no results".
I tried at the forum main page, and in the boat restoration forum with the same results.
I tried with capitals, no capitals, one word and two.
There is a post right now that is titled "93 Sea Ray" and still, search told me there was no match.

What the hey!

Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

cheers

Thanks for giving it a try, but I already did that as mentioned in the original post.

Well, perhaps you might want to try again....... I received over 500 hits as post and over 500 as threads.

Re: Forum search not working.

I just tried 'sea ray 1993' and came up with this as the second listing...

Not sure if it's what you were looking for, but sometimes just playing around with the wording makes a lot of difference in the results shown.

Edit: make sure the 'show threads' box is ticked and not 'show post's'

Yep, t's working now.
I don't know what was up before, but I did search both "post" and "threads" with one word and two words, capitals and no capitals and kept coming back with no results.

Mark it off as a temporary glitch.
As long as its fine now, I'm happy.

tks for the help

cheers

I do know that three letter words or number's make the SEARCH system fail It has been that way for a long time......

Glad it is working for you!
