Forum search troubles?

I've been trying to find archetype guides/builds using the forum search function & the common abbreviations for powerset combinations, DM/WP for a Dark Melee/WillPower brute for example.

Using both simple and advanced searches I keep getting "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms".

Looking at the brutes forum, I see there is a thread entitled "WM/WP - Questions on SoftCap and on Build Strategy" so for a test I searched for WM/WP, no matches.

Then I tried: wm/wp

Then I tried: "WM/WP"

Then I tried: ***WP

All "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms".

So I thought, hmm, maybe I've got cookies blocked or something. So I tried searching for "softcap" (without the quotes). Heaps of hits.

So, seeing as how the abbreviations seem to be used much more than the full names, how do I search for powerset abbreviations (eg: "DM/WP")?

Pretty hard to find guides if I can't search for the most common abbreviations. Plenty of the guides I've ready hardly mention the full set names, if at all.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

(Apologies if I should be posting in a different forum)


L50 as a Tank, Mastermind, Soldier, Blaster, Defender & Brute so far. Still trying testing alts in search of my 'main'. So many possibilities!
