search does not work

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.

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'."

Most forum search engines have a 3 letter minimum. It's not ideal but it is what it is.

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.

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.

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?

This is what I get when I click the regular search button...at the top of the main page or at the bottom..

 

A white screen with...

 

IPS Driver Error

There appears to be an error with the database.

You can try to refresh the page by clicking here

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
