| Forum Search Engine Problems? Any members having problems with the forum search engine returning inconsistent results? Errors like a search for a thread with known parameters returns nothing, yet you find your thread/post later and realize that your search had valid parameters. Or a known parameter search that results in returns that you know does not include all threads/posts? We are attempting to determine if we have a problem and the scope. All help would be appreciated. Mods

  | Might be something to do with a minimal limit of the number of letters in a search term to minimise results. Therefore words with say 3 letters or less are excluded from the search whereas those with more won't be...

| Gnomey, using your suggestion: From the "USS Saratoga" thread I started last week: Search words with "USS" and "Syscom3" yielded nothing. Search words with "Saratoga" and "Syscom3" yielded the thread. It didnt matter if the letters were capitalized or not.

| Search words need to be longer than 3 characters. If they are not, that specific item is ignored.

| I don't know about anyone else, but I always have to look through atleast three pages of threads to find the one I'm after, even when I type in the exact thread name. |

| That's happened to me too, A4K. I've also done a search and the results did not include more recent posts that I know existed. When tried again exactly the same, those more recent posts are listed in the returns.

 All of the US aircraft are usually refered to their 3 digit code. I guess we will need to ask people to use a "-" in their threads, like "P-51" instead of P51.
