Search Not Working???

Postby BenH » Thursday Sep 07, 2006 6:25 pm

I tried a number of searches, and at first I thought it was my search terms. Then I tried searching from the keyword "beer" and got "no results"

I think ees broken! Can any of the moddies take a note and a look?

Thanks very muchly.

Yeah, I tried a few things and it didn't work ( was looking for the Dogger's maple honey thread). I even tried 'Dogger' as author and got no hits. When I did find the thread, I went back and tried it as a test, and with the perfect spelling it worked, but who has perfect spelling?

Hi BenH,

The phpbb software contains restrictions on searches, so if the term is too general (like beer would be on a website about beer!) it will return nothing (although it seems to users that the search function is just broken. Apparently they're going to fix this).

You need to search for a more specific word or words than just "beer".

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Oliver
