Does anyone know why the search function doesn't seem to return any hits. If you type "qix" or "pcb" it returns no posts??
Thanks

Because the search function doesn't allow searches of 3 characters or less. You can get around it by doing this:

The search function on these forums absolutely sucks. If you search for someting youll have to sift thru about a thousand threads that have nothing to do with what you are searching for. Try putting quotation marks in your search and nothing comes up at all "most of the time". People on here wonder why the same crap gets posted over and over again, well this is why.
I've had far better luck searching on google. It usually point to threads in KLOV first anyhow. Google can find KLOV stuff faster and easier than KLOV. Yeah, I said it.
The only real gripe I have with the search function is that it doesn't allow you to search just the post BODY or TITLE. I'd say 3/4 of all game-related search results tend to be signature-related....

... Didn't they make it so three letter searches worked? Could swear I was doing them. Pretty sure they enabled it after so many complaints. I need to do some checking... Maybe it is different per forum.
This in theory should only affect posts that were made under ubbthreads and imported into vbulletin. Signatures shouldn't be being indexed in any threads the last two years.
3 letter searches got dropped during the server upgrade unintentionally and have now been restored in theory.
