Flora Report post Posted April 27, 2006 Why is that sometimes when I try to perform a search on the forum I get an error message telling me that I can't do a search? Most of the time it works, but sometimes it doesn't. Anyone know why? Lauren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nellie Report post Posted April 27, 2006 Lauren, I have to admit I have trouble with it too, it's not as good as the search facility on the old board. If your search keywords are below 4 characters it won't work but it should come up and tell you that. If this happens just miss out those words. Otherwise describe the problem and the techie's might be able to solve it. Nellie xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted April 27, 2006 I have never had any sucsess with the search. If you wasn ADHD for example it just can't find it. I don't bother anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nellie Report post Posted April 27, 2006 Viper, I've just done a search for ADHD and came up with this topic. ADHD has 4 characters, ASD won't work as it only has three. Have another try and let me know if you still have problems. Nellie xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted April 28, 2006 It works ok but doesn't actually come up with anything worth reading. Not saying Nemo isn't worth reading it's just that there isn't anything actually about ADHD. Does it search the resources etc? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nellie Report post Posted April 29, 2006 Viper, It asks you where you want to search (which forums), it also asks if you want to search the most recent or the most relevant. Using ADHD as an example, if you search all forums it will give you 48 pages of posts mentioning ADHD, which should be all the posts. Which isn't bad, is it? Though I still prefer the old search facility. Nellie xx Nemo is definitely worth reading he brightens up the dullest day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flora Report post Posted April 29, 2006 Thanks nellie I've noticed that you can't search for anything under 4 words, but sometimes it just doesn't work at all. It must be 'just one of those things' Lauren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lufty Report post Posted May 5, 2006 Thanks nellie I've noticed that you can't search for anything under 4 words, but sometimes it just doesn't work at all. It must be 'just one of those things' Lauren Hi Lauren There is a database minimum word length limit of 4 characters for the search engine which I am unable to alter. I have modified the board settings to give an error message if any words you search for are less than 4 characters. Let me know how you get on.
