OK, at the top of the forum in the quick search text box, when I search for something that ends with a number, it seems that the system errors out and doesn't return anything. Feel free to try searching for something like "test 1". Then try searching for "test".

Other examples would be "xp 2500" or "AMD 64". Which would be common searches I think for people looking to buy and AMD cpu.


sorry if this is a repost...

I noticed that earlier doing a search for "xp home" that came back with 0 results. But if I searched for just "xp" it went fine. Must be something to do with multiple word search strings.

Yeah, I did a two word search earlier and I got zero results, while I know I should have gotten some. Fusetalk search in general is buggy as hell. Try searching for "amp" and you get a bunch of threads with "&" in the title, since & is "&" in html.

wonder what happens when you type "XP%20Home" or "XP Home"

My guess is that it is some issue with the search criteria moving to the address bar and your browser considering a space as an end.

What browser are you guys using?
