Search not working? "avb" returns no results

Post by buzmeg »

I'm trying to search for AVB posts, but typing in AVB into the search gets me no results.

Which is weird, because Googling "avb site:motunation.com" pulls up a bunch.

Am I doing something wrong with cookies, Javascript, etc?

Thanks.

I think it may be discarding 3-character search words as "noise" words. Searching for "MIDI" works but searching for "mix" does not.

The Search function is limited at best. Sometimes it finds exactly what you want; other times nothing.

Often the best way to search these boards is through a Google search.

Bingo... it's inconvenient, but that's how phpBB search is. Nothing I can do. At some point I'll try to add a button for direct Google search.

You sure about that? Doris has been a grump lately. Don't tell her I said that.
