Forum Search

Perhaps i'm doing something wrong, but the forum search is not working for me.

for example i did a search for "Red" - e.g. Red Sea - and got no results.

any ideas?
(not about the Red Sea, but about using seach for the forums...)

I believe you have to use a search term that is more than 3 letters long. Try using "red*"

[JugglingMonkeys]

Well, it gives no results at all for "Red Sea"

a good search feature is critical. Especially with the number of threads/posts increasing rapidly.

I can never use the search and gt it to work for you. there should be a google for dummies book.

That is accurate... there is a 4 letter minimum set up for the search engine, but there is a way that we can over ride it and allow specific smaller words - and I'll try to get "red" and "sea" included in the available words sometime hopefully by tomorrow!

Sorry for the trouble!

Type this in a Google search window:

Red site:forum.scubatoys.com

Actually this works for just about any 2 letter or longer term, just replace Red with what you're looking for...

There's an entire topic around here on the forums somewhere.
I'll have to find it and post it.

It was in essence a topic about all the 2 letter and 3 letter words that needed to be included in the search engine over-rides.

Here's the topic

Search Key Words

Please add to this topic and I'll add the over-rides

Yes. I should have thought of that - just use google!
