Search function on the site

[wessock]

Is the search function on the site pretty much useless for anybody else or am I having some kind of browser issue. Almost everything I try to search for, it tells me the term is too common. I trying to find threads on shocks and struts and the words shocks, struts, absorber, suspension, springs, etc. all give me that message. Even when I try to search in a specific area of the site, same thing. It's kind of making the site useless since I don't feel like manually going through every thread.

its an issue efrain needs to get resolved soon

all that needs to be done is to change the search settings to the following

in search setting change "Common word threshold:" to 0 (zero)

then he nneds to re do the search index by diong the following
go to the Maintenance, selecting seach index, the detele the "Fulltext native (active) " index, then create "Fulltext native (active) " index

i have had to do this on my forum, now it works find

[Big Jeff]

there is a search indexs database which logs all the words used on the site, if that word is used more than the set percentage it will mark it as a common word and won't allow it to be use in searches

so.......... who do we need to PM spam to get it to happen?
~wolf

[Big Jeff]

It would certainly be nice if the search worked...... from what I gather he is too busy to even come on this site most of the time. I'll try to drop him a line on MSN.
