Search issues

Hi all. I often try to find info on something, and the search won't work. For example, I wanted to find threads on ["Power ISO" boot] so entered it as shown, with quotes. Well I get back a million hits with all threads that have "power" or "boot" in them. All totaly off topic. Whats going on?
thanks!

Apparently any 3 letter search term doesn't work by default. Hopefully it will be sometime soon.

I thought so. That seems really foolish. Why?

I did a search just now in the FS forum for SODIMM and it didn't find Taisingera's thread that has it clearly in the title. It's on the first page right now as well.

Also, it doesn't look like it's in order. How do we default to sort by date?

You can't - it doesn't seem to be working - just like it didn't in FT after sometime in 2002-2003.🙁 I don't believe it's VB since other VB based boards I'm aware don't have this type of issue.

This is ridiculous!
Hasn't some one tried to fix this? For example, I just searched for "Dragon Age", and it only allowed me to search for "dragon" which had a billion off hits. I can't find any info about the game!
