Why do I almost always get this error when I just use the standard search box in the upper left hand corner?



I know that what I'm searching for is in the specific forum but the standard search box almost never works.

Does this happen to anyone else?

It only happens to me when one or all of my search keywords are below 3 characters or when I search for words which are not allowed, such as 'html', 'img', etc

For example:

I typed in Call of Duty. Because I wanted to find the Call of Duty Thread and I got that error.

It is worth pointing out that the search function has problems...for example that including a word like "of" in your search for some reason invalidates it (rather than it just ignoring the word). Also, how when you do a search for something and it gives you some superthreads as hits - well it's not like I'm gonna wade through 3,000 pages of the sickie thread, can I get a page number up in here???

well you can always list the results as posts instead of threads

you don't have to sort by last posting date.

if you know the basic date when the thing you're searching for happened, you can search by older or newer than various times.


it's a powerful tool

Type into google:


(thing I want to search) site:fullcontactpoker.com

For instance, if I want to search for LongLiveYorke God Pizza, I would type:

LongLiveYorke God Pizza site:fullcontactpoker.com

I get this:

http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...hp/t107884.html

Funny

I always use the deluxe search box in the upper right hand corner and it always works for me.
