Incomplete search results

[aldamon]

I'm getting very incomplete search results. For example, if I search for the word power, I get the following results:

This is only one example. I get these kind of incomplete results with every search. It makes searching the FS/FT forum in particular very difficult.

Try refining your search to titles only in the forum you are searching....that will cut down dramatically the hits you receive if you don't specify

I'm sorry, but how would searching in thread titles only increase search results? That doesn't make any sense.

Another example: Search for the word SODIMM and then look at the results. Now search for my posts. My FS/FT thread is not displaying in my search results. The words SODIMM and SODIMMs are definitely in my thread.

This thread you made was found in less than 10 seconds using advance search/thread titles only/FS/T forum.....I have no idea why you don't have the same results.

Weird. I wonder if I'm alone?

Given your reply to Major's suggestions, I am going to say that our search is working fine and you might spend a bit more time working with the advanced options to get the results you are looking for.

I searched for SODIMM without any advanced features and got this thread plus your FSFT thread in the first 5 results.
