kiyotei[TK] Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I've noticed this problem since my first day on the board. The search feature does not work. No matter what I search for, it always returns a single link to the same posting, no matter what I search for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 That's odd, it works fine for me, but is is a little picky. Do a search for armor and see if you get 7 pages of results like I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManInWhite Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Try not to be too specific in your search. I try maybe one keyword but no more then two. It's easier to get alot of results and pan through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigturc Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Steven, I've already posted about this here: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=1849 For me, I have the same behavior .. altuhou, it seems to be more picky. Right now, searching for "Armor" WILL get me over 1000 results, while searching for "TE" or "AP" won't return anything. "Unfortunately your search didn't return any results. Try broadening the search parameters by searching by different keywords or altering the format of your search. Remember to use the wildcard '*' to increase the number of matches. Apple* will match 'apple' and 'apples'." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most forum search engines have a 3 letter minimum. It's not ideal but it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocomonk22 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I've noticed this problem since my first day on the board. The search feature does not work. No matter what I search for, it always returns a single link to the same posting, no matter what I search for. For some reason, the search engine always returns the single post: the fourth post from the topic 'Our sandy brothers kicking some butt!' from the 'Field Training Exercises Form'. It is at the bottom of every search, and is sometimes the only search result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiyotei[TK] Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Yea it loves that thread, no idea why it normally has no relevance to the topic I'm searching on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naglium[TK] Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 me 2... so how do we fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 If you click on the "click for menu" tab at the top of the page, in the drop down there is a search button. That takes you to the super secret advanced search page. It's called the super secret advanced search page because I only discovered it tonight and I've been around here for 16 months.

drosch Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I knew this was discussed a while back so I thought I would stir it up again. I still get the "kicking butt" thread on all my searches and I've been doing alot of searching lately. I guess nobody ever figured out why?

dashrazor Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) this is a common problem for a lot of forums.. but there is an easy fix. i use google advanced search, just type whitearmor.net into the "Search within a site or domain"box http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en this is what do anyway it gets much better results imho, you can also use the exact phrase box to search for genral topics like just ATA,TM,AP ect...
