    Default Search Problems

    Is it just me that has problems with the search feature? half the time it comes up with zero threads.

    attached are examples where i searched for "PAM" and "177"

    You'd think they'd be a few posts on PAM's on here?!?

    Am i being an idiot? Don't get it - i'm normally the total IT geek...

    A lot of searches require at least 4 characters. Most tell you this though.

    PS: is it not a bit weird having that setting considering so many reps are referred to by a 2 or 3 character abbreviation: Sub, SSD, BCE, SO, PO, UPO, PAM, etc.....?

    Yes 3 word searches are not handled well by the search engine we have. Im looking at ways to make it better.

    I never ever got the search engine here to do what i want....

    Just use google!

    Example, search for "site:www.repgeek.com 177" (without the "")

    Works like a charm!
