Yes, unfortunatly it only searches the Subjects,Topic Authors and Reply Authors and not the text body. Kind of a waste of a search feature.

How do you get it to search past 3 months?

Quoted: How do you get it to search past 3 months? Click on the drop down list and pic a time span. You can go back as far as a year to date. |

As they always tell me "You should have been here last week" it is a lot better than it was.

It's certainly doable to make it search the message bodies, but those types of searches are very system-intensive and may cause a significant amount of overhead. Unless GB has SQL full-text indexing installed, I wouldn't recommend it (with the amount of messages on the site).

I've found it really hit or miss. Try using a few different search terms or running the same search next time you log on. I'm not complaining, 'cause it's like 1GUNRUNNER said. BTW I think the FAQ's in each forum are the way to go if you aren't going to have a full search function. We're heading in the right direction.

I find it works pretty good. All I do is type one word that I know is in the subject in Keyword blank then check "Match any Word" (others must be blank), check "Subjects" (others must be left blank)and "All Forums" and "Finally Date Range". I never can remember exact wording so never use it. Anyway, it is handy. Problem is remembering one word. Put AK-47 and a whole slew will turn up in the 3 month section.
