View Full Version : Trouble doing searches

I have experienced trouble doing searches in the forums. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

For instance, today, I wanted to do a search to see if there have been discussions about using the word "still". When I did a search, it came back no matches. Everything I've tried to search on has come back with that. I leave the defaults as they are and just type the word that I'm thinking will appear in either the title or somewhere in the body.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Aha! After creating this new thread and creating another one asking my question about the word still, I did another search. It still came back "no matches found". It should have at least found my two, right?

After reading your comment, I noticed that some threads will show other similar threads. You must look in the bottom of the page when you open a particular thread.

Did I just confuse you?

Yes you did. I don't have any threads open. I'm trying to find a thread about a particular subject (still in this case). The search comes back and tells me there are no threads matching my search parameters. Is that any clearer?

:rolleyes:

Brenda, that's really strange, and I'm not sure what's going on. I'll get in touch with the makers of the forum software to ask about it.
