beanz Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 as some will know iv never got on with the search button. i dont know if its to do with the new site or its always been this way, but......... i tried to search ACE i-3 and im not allowed as it need 4 or more letters and doesnt accept numbers or what ever it said and as you can guess, adding 'alarms' to ace fill the pages with days worth of useless reading. can the amount of letters be reduced????

grangemilky Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I have never successfully searched this forum no matter what I type, it just comes up with a completely random selection of recent posts. dalthegooner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnplumb Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 If you put ace I-3 in quotation marks. " ace I-3 " it will search but no matches are found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'm still finding my way around the new search, so unfortunately I can give little help. I do know that you can search specific sections ('this section, members etc'), or the whole forum. As for terms, I tend to know a term, and have not yet had any involving numbers, Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grangemilky Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 If you go on Google, and type ''ace i3 site:forum.carp.com'' it searches the site much better than the site does its self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 I've tuned the search, you should be able to search with 3 letter words and more. if you search for: carp bait - will bring back approx 437 results, any topics where "carp" and "bait" are anywhere in the text. if you search with the words enclosed in double quotes " " like: "carp bait" - this will bring back 161 results, and will display posts where the two words appear next to each other and in that order. beanz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
