Yeah its been like that since we went to the new format. I can type in several words off a post and it won't find them if they're in general. SO yeah our search sucks

I thought it was just me. I searched for some of my old posts and could not find them that way.

Nah dude, you're not alone. It's very limited, and it doesn't find older threads like before...

I thought it was just me too. Do you think that some of the old threads were deleted? I even type in the exact name of the thread and it still cant find it.

they are there still, its just that the search function sucks. I had to scroll through page after page to find some things but I found them. The new search feature since the upgrade is just pathetic thats all

It seems as though VB3 is lacking the search capabilities that the previous VB software obtained. It is my understanding that until an upgrade is presented for this we will have to deal with the current features that VB3 is offering. Sorry guys, I don't know what else to say... :dunno:

VB3 was a major upgrade for us but it did come with some temporary bugs as most new software unfortunately has.

It's case sensitive right... and it has that 4 letter word limitation.

Yea I noticed the differences so you pretty much have to be carefull what you ask for and try to word it differently.

hopefully it should be a bit better now since we are running the full version of vb3 now instead of a release candidate version.

I've started re-indexing the search engine, which basically goes through every post and logs it into the search engine.

The process is intensive, so it should last into the wee hours of the night. If the search is still unsatisfactory, then there really is nothing we can do.

When you search select "show results as" "POSTS"

That makes it easier

Yes i agree i got yelled about by alot of people for reposting things that i didn't know i was. I used the search and nothing came up for many terms i knew were there. yes that is why i :repost: threads and why people got pissed off at me and i almost got kicked off because i said the search buttons was gay and didn't work. At least i am not the only one...

I had the same problem the other night when I was trying to find the "how to convert to prelude arms" thread the other night. I tried prelude, control, upper, arm and lude in several different combinations in several different threads as well as in the whole forum but never managed to find it. Then this afternoon I was looking through the how-to section and "BAM!" there t was in plain sight (you'll have to pardon me, I shoulda looked there first anyways...I'm a stoopid dummy head)

The link was broken anyways.

Otherwise I think this forum is the best, I also check out AccordTuner and Vancover Accords, but 3 Geez is 'hands down' the best.

Ahem...crunch. crunch. crunch. sqawk! That would be the sound of me eating crow. I tried re-doing my 'prelude' search after selecting 'show as posts' and it worked waaaaaaay better!
