How to Use the Search Function
Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2012 4:13 pm
As many of you know, the search function has not been working properly for quite some time. Whether this will be resolved or not remains unknown. In the meantime, I've found a way to bypass the glitch and perform a search successfully.
• First, always be as specific as possible. For example, if you're looking for a thread about the Blu-ray release of Aladdin, do not enter in the search box just "Aladdin" but "Aladdin Blu-ray".
• Always use quotation marks when you enter key words.
• Select the appropriate "Forum" category.
• Select the option "Search for any terms or use query as entered".
• If you come up with a large amount of search results, go back the re-do the search but this time select the option "Search for all terms"
• The search results then will be significantly reduced and more accurate.
• For finding specific posts instead of topics, simply select the "Posts" option in the "Display results as" category.
That's it. I hope this works for you.
