Having trouble searching by title

[mikejungle]

Hi,

I like doing forum searches because there's a vast resource of already answered questions in forums...but alas I cannot here.

I want to search for threads by title, but it seems that I cannot. I namely want to search for threads related to the 1665 rolex, but when i type in '1665', it says there are no results. So I thought maybe it's too short of an entry, although usually four characters works in other forums. So I tried other words. Finally, I just typed in "rolex" because if that doesn't work, there's something wrong with the engine. And again, no results.

So am I doing something wrong?

All I'm doing is typing in a keyword and checking the 'search titles only' box right underneath.

Thanks,

Mike

I'm getting everything under the sun for "Rolex 1665" when I search with these words..

maybe you need to upgrade your membership

[mikejungle]

seriously...is that why?

here is the message, copied and pasted:

No results found for '1665 rolex'.

and dude, lani. you still have that upo crystal? I want mine AR'd, but I thought chief wasn't doing UPO crystals anymore unless you prepared it first...i don't know how/what to prepare, but yeah...

I have to hunt it down.. I can remove the AR not a problem.. a dremel and green jewelers rouge..

what browser are you using.. if it's explorer.. that could be your prob. get firefox.. after I switched from explorer to FF all the issues disappeared.

When in doubt use a Google "Site" search:

Goto google and type: site:rwgforum.com 1665

Here was my result: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=site%3Arwgforum.com+1665&aq=f&aqi=&oq=&fp=e8d6ef47431c6a4a

HTH

Wow, Ronin, that's aweseome! I never found anything anymore since forum software update last summer! This works very well!

ya, i always find it strange when members tell us to try a different search engine. not to ruffle any feathers, but the fact is that 90% of people use internet explorer. my suggestion would be to rectify the problem for the majority of users. it will only help rwg in the long run as i'm sure many members (new especially) become frustrated and simply don't return. just my $0.02.

it's an ongoing problem with the new software.. but not as a debate.. switching to firefox has proven much better all around for me.. on and off the forum..

but Ronin has some cool ways of addressing issues

[mikejungle]

yo lani, i think I pmed you. check it.

and i like firefox. thinking of trying out chrome. so i guess it's a problem with the board, huh? not just me.

thanks ronin for that. very helpful.
