Title: The Search function is useless. Post by: carlossus on May 26, 2011, 06:26:28 AM Hello.
I was just wondering why the search box is so poor. I have never been able to find past threads using it. For example, I want to find the thread where we discussed KVB so I search for that and get a load of pages that don't contain the term when I do a text search of the page. Am i doing it wrong?

I agree that SMF's search is frustrating. Title: Re: The Search function is useless. Post by: carlossus on May 26, 2011, 08:59:27 AM Topic only search seems to work better.

I cleared the log file when I moved the server to Amazon. So hopefully everything keeps working until I can get the search issue with the log file sorted.

The search function is useless into the search box while in this thread and get no results ?? There is surely a mine of information on this site if only people can get access to it.
