Can't search forum when logged in
No matter what you type it says it is "too common"
Not just me, others have reported same issue
Error message:
"The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: haflinger.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards"

Cheers,
Dan

Yes me too - typed "brake wheel cylinder" and got what you got - even grouped the works and still no luck.

I got the search to work after a fashion.

In the search term box, put your search word. - I had to put a "*" in front of the word before I got results. Even then some words are "too common"!
Then I put the radio button to "search for any terms".
Then I highlighted "General Technical" in the forums section.

Click on search and it returns results - whether the results are actually what your looking for - who knows?

There are settings that need to be adjusted by the site admin in the phpBB Admin panel to make it work properly
