This has probably been said a thousand times but we have to fix the search option. I search for paintong and moddeling and I get Fluff, Fluff and more Fluff.

Can someone please look in on that.

please tell us exactly what parameters you used in your search and what different settings you used. (you can use a screenshot if you want it is easiest).

Okay this what I put in.

Search for keywords - Dark AND Riders

Forum - Painting and Modelling

Category - General Gaming

Search Previous - All Post, Search topic title and message text

Sort By - Post Time, descending

Return First - 200

I'd try to be as precise as possible but most of what I got was fluff. This is a problem because say some of my post have already been done by others but I search for the topic title and come up with nothing close to what I got.

Hmmm, are you sure. I tried searching for, I believe, exactly the same as you did (you did search for posts, as opposed to entire topics, yes?) and I came up with a load of posts in P&M about Dark Riders (eg. Kala's recent DR thread, conversion ideas and topics etc). I'm guessing that's what you'd be looking for, so I don't see the problem really. I believe before the search was indeed far worse, but usually now I find I can get what I want without much hassle.

Trying a different search (searching for Manflayers in tactics) came up with adequate results as well. I'm not sure, what were you looking for? It seems ok to me, the right topics generally come up, and you can sort them as you wish.

Same result here. Everything went normal. It is possible that you perhaps linked the wrong forum and by mistake searched for the History forum. I don't see another explanation.
Let us know if it fails again,

cheers,

I would like to issue a formal apology. I went back and it seems that my computer changed General Gaming to Druchii Discussion :oops: . Sorry for the hassle.

No problem, just glad that we got it sorted out. And that it was that easy to fix. :)
