Forum Search not working

Post by Techmogogy »

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?

Have you hit the "DONATE" button at the bottom of the page after reading this post? Many thanks if you have!!

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