Why is it that when i enter a topic in the seach function i just get a listing of what appears to be the latest threads that have had posts in them
i tried to search DC2R oil, then OIL the DC2R oil viscosity and got the same result?
Can someone help please
Maybe thats all the threads that are related to "oil" within the forum which you picked to search in?
i used the search function in the home page, can it be any broader than that? or does it automatically drill down into a specific forum?
Not sure if it does or not,
Have you tried using the advanced search, where u can specifically pick a certain part of the forum, or ALL forums?
dont even know where that is man
search > advance search > select forum you wish to search > enter in your search

If you want it to be really specific then add " + " in front of the word you're searching for. If you search for "dc2r oil" then it will look up all thread which contain either oil AND/OR oil whereas with the "+" it will search for post/threads which contain both words.
I did a search for dc2r oil and it came up with 192 results (search results here), I did the search again but for +dc2r +oil* and it came up with 6 results (search results using the + and *).

OK, i must be really friggin stupid, or theres something wron,g either way im getting frustrated
ive tried everyhthng you guys said in the link that yourfather posted. I put in "+dc2r+oil", "+dc2r +oil" i search titles only and entire thread, i did it while i was perfoming starjumps on top of a train and its still bringing up either mass results like before, or no results found
and Fr2ki3 the link you posted to the search replies brought up a screen which said no responses found
I just tried clicking on the the links (mine as well as wyn's) and they all show "no results found" :confused:
The problem is that "oil" is less than 4 letter hence the need to add * after it, which is the wildcard or the invisible 4th letter.
I did the search again for:
+dc2r +oil* and it came up with 7 results.
+oil* +viscosity and that came up wit 30 results.
Hope that helps and relieves some of your frustration dude.... lol
Try changing the search terms in that case.Quote:
