Short_Stuf Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I dunno if it's something wrong with the forums, or my computer, but the serach tool isn't working for me. It doesn't return any results no matter what I search for. Is this just something to do with my computer? Or is it something happening to other people too?

hellbellz Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 It's dumb, if you type in an author, it says no topics... :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

____ Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 i typed in "author: short stuf" and it didn't come up with anything but i searched "search" and it came up with LOTS of topicsProbably because "short stuf" and short_stuf are two different things :uhh: If you search by user it is going to use the EXACT STRING. So if there is no user with that exact username, of course it is going to return nothing. And short_stuf: What kind of searches are you doing?

Albosky Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 exactly , saying "search doesnt work" doesnt do me any good in trying to diagnose a problem examples of words you searched for , what options you chose when searching , did you use wildcards , etc etc details are always helpful :) I like to fart silently but deadly in movie theatersArd Choille says (11:41 PM):I wouldn't dare tell you what to do m'dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Short_Stuf Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Sorry, I should have been more specific. With some keywords that logically should return results, (eg. "Runescape", "Pure", "Skill" etc.) I still get a message saying no posts or topics match my criteria. I didn't touch the options, and didn't enter an author, or use wildcards. If I enter an author and keyword for topics I know exist I get results, but I'm having trouble finding topics about specific things I want to read about. It doesn't seem to make sense to me, but it happens anyway. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 those terms are too common. Use something less broad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Short_Stuf Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Fair enough. I'll try to be more precise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
