RE: Ppl always asking questions that have been asked!
I think the search engine is fine the way it is
So, Fraisie.net is empty atm. I\'m trying to come up with something cool to put on it, and I will! |

RE: Ppl always asking questions that have been asked!
I agree on the fact that the forum primary function is to help people. Please, do not yell at people to search before they post; helping is repeating the same thing everyday, with a smile  . And I don't have anything against the search.. at least, it works, not like in a lot of forums. |

I assume it searches posts for key words so unless your specific in your search you will get random stuff !!

Of course it does... so does Google, but it has very advanced ways of sorting the results so the relevant ones are on top... 
My search feature looks for the keywords you entered; same as any other search feature. If a post contains the keywords, it's a result.  |

RE: Ppl always asking questions that have been asked!
WDZ, can you make the minimum word length in searching to 3?
You know it is impossible to search words like "tab" and "ink."  Registered 7660 days, 19 hours, 11 minutes, 5 seconds ago.

i know that if one searches "msn," s/he will find a huge bunch of threads
but, does it matter?
people won't simply search "msn" in this forum
maybe dz can filter it Registered 7660 days, 19 hours, 11 minutes, 5 seconds ago.

RE: Ppl always asking questions that have been asked!
maybe... but anyway the bandwith of the forums would be a lot higher if you search 3 letter words but then again i might be wrong.....
