Is it just me...

[The-Collector]

Or is the search function on this site spoon?

[DiceX]

Yes

 

 

[The-Collector]

[Ditch Fahrenheit]

Yes

[The-Collector]

It's not just you... It's rubbish

[toyman-migration]

agreed

It's not just you... It's rubbish

There's nothing so terrible about it.

 

Use +keyword for required keywords.

Use -keyword to exclude posts with a keyword.

Use quotes around a phrase to search for a phrase.

Use a * at the end of the word to match partial words.

It's still easier to use Google IMO.

Rubbish because the results have been massively decreased or rubbish because you can't use it?

[Underground44]

Both really. The 2 year limit makes it tough and no matter how hard I try I can't get the results I want. Other people seem to have no problem

Boolean is my friend

I have the best message for searching for something. I post something that is on my mind. If there is a 20 page thread concerning the issue, someone is always kind enough to remind me that it has been discussed before and link me to it.

 

I can't ever find what I am looking for with the search engine either.

[mikenyc]

No, it's not just you. Now cue the lifers who will come to it's defense.

[Boozad]

By using the search function, I found plenty of info on the search function.

Just ask BlowuptheMoon, that dude can find anything around here.I picture him as some mad genius sitting at a table drinking wine.

[Comicopolis]

Yes.

[Dr. Balls]

Yep!

[MedicAR]

Some days, it doesn't work at all. When I suspect that is happening, I search for something in one of my recent posts and still come up empty.

 

I have never gotten the Boolean functions to work at all. I've added spaces before and after the "+" I have put no spaces around the symbols, it doesn't matter, it just doesn't work. At best, the "+" acts as an "or" function.

I have not read this thread but has anyone mentioned that BlowUpTheMoon can usually find anything using the search function.
