Does anyone else have problems using the site's search function?
I've noticed a few times when I try and do a search, I just get a bunch of nonsense results that have nothing to do with what I was searching for.
I've tried searching using "specific quotes", I've tried being logged in under my username, tried searching being a guest, all the same. I've tried clearing my cookies and leaving the site and coming back.
Anyone else have the same problem? :dunno:
Perhaps you could tell one of us what you are searching for and we can look it up for you. I'd offer, but it's 5 o'clock and I'm not allowed on the kid's computer at home. So, I'm offering this suggestion in hopes that a fellow good samaritan GS'er will search for you. Otherwise, if I don't get to sneak onto my kid's computer this weekend, you'd have to wait til Monday for me to search for ya.
Happy 4th of July!
i agree. the search function isn't the best
Thank you. But it doesn't seem to matter what I search for. Sometimes it will work, but most of the time it doesn't.
Who knows..maybe it is an "ID 10 T" error. THat is why I wanted to see if anyone else had the problem.
its just the software. if u search tank it will give u any post with the word tank in it. be it the title or the body of the post..
HERE (http://gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14409) is a similar topic. (I dug it up again by searching for the word "prolific". :mrgreen: )
John Bates' post makes a good point, especially since topic titles aren't always well-thought out. Towards the bottom of the thread I posted a bunch of screen shots and observations about how the search system seems to work. Maybe they will help? :dunno:
make sure if you are searching for many words at once to tie them together with AND or OR. unless you did that and are still seeing the same problem.
