SEARCH ?

Why does the search function act up sometimes. Its a real PITA.

For instance: I was looking for any thread with "dogs" did not return anything so I tried "dog" did not return anything. I know that there are some threads on here that have the word dog in it. I switched to titles only and it returned a bunch of random threads.

I was then looking for the best exige photo thread. Did not return anything even when I just searched "exige" what the heck?


I have had this problem before and its very frustrating. Whats wrong and why doesnt this work?

I usually end up using google to search on lotustalk. Just include "lotustalk" in the search for whatever you were going to search for here.

You can't search for any words that are 3 letters or less... This can suck if you searching for BOE or other acronyms like WTB etc...

The search function excludes terms that are 'too common'. There are a gazillion hits for exige, that's why you get nothing.

Dog is, I believe, too short to search for, but dogs works.

Randy has it set up so some 3-letter acronyms are searchable.

True, but you could search for 'dog' by searching 'dog*'
