| Post subject: | The search function |
       Tried searching for music video because I seemed to remember a music video thread. Nothing I could do could get it to actually search for the word "video" because it was too common a word and thus ignored. I've had entire searches ignored because it consisted of words that were "too common." I will now go back to bitching about the right wing, left wing, republicans, 594 and most government employees. |

Yup... Common words are often skipped in the phpBB search function. It's a known issue. The trick is to wildcard it. Use the power of the *. Search for video, get kicked back for too common of a word, search for *video or video* and hello nancy! |

And trying every other trick in the book, including Boolean operators. Thanks |

I'm on several sites that limit searches to 4 character or larger words and filter "common words" to keep the search database size reasonable. All I do is enter the term "site:(URL of the forum) search items" into the Google search bar, hit enter, and it gives me a list of threads containing the search items (that are available to the general public - restricted sub-forums like NSFW or moderator/admin areas do not show up): site:www.waguns.org music video |

Make sure he has a big dick, and gets a hot scene with the lesbians. The lesbians don't necessarily need to leave satisfied, but no doubt he will.... |

Ah yes, the sanitation engineer tested the flush function and once again left satisfied. "These toilets really SUCK!" He uttered in a thoroughly satisfied tone... |
