Searching the board

Hi I didnt see a forum for board technical questions so this the only place I could think to post this.

I did a search for AR/DEV, because I wanted to see if theres any posts on this so I can read what others say.
and the results are 0

So there are NO posts on this bulletin board with the term AR/DEV in it?

how so I search for that? thanks

Don't be so specific. I could go and ask about "Assault rifle," "AR/Dev," "AR / Dev," "AR DEV" "Rifle," "AR/*" or more terms. Searching on "Dev" is, frankly, a *bad* idea as that's short for "Developer."

I would, frankly, start with -

Term - Rifle
Forums - Select "Blaster," then Control-Click on Corruptor.

Results - 231 hits. Some mentioning AR/ in the title. (At least one even mentioning AR/Dev specifically.)

That said, a direct search on AR/Dev, even within quotes (in other words, "AR/Dev") comes up with nothing. I'm assuming the slash is throwing something off.

I thought that in the old forums, the search would only look for words that were four letters or longer.
Making searches for Ice / Axe Tankers harder.

I'm pretty sure they fixed that in the old forums.

However, I also think it's re-broken in the new ones - try searching for "Ice" with Blaster, Controller, and Dominator selected. There's absolutely a thread (on the first page, even, as I type this) of the Controller section talking about Ice. You end up with "no matches." But Fire works.

The search function never has been bug free from what I can tell. Which really that doesn't make sense being that these are vbulletin forums which are usually excellent.

With this bug and the annoying timer for performing searches really does making searching tedious and not worth the effort. Which is why you see so many duplicate threads.
