VulpineTaco 525 November 25, 2014 Share November 25, 2014 So, I've been trying to use the search system to see if a thread I posted had anything similar before posting. I used a variety of keywords separately and together, and got nothing, so I posted the thread. Lo and behold, though, there was already the EXACT thread I posted. Isn't the search bar supposed to prevent this? Is there no way to fix it? 1 "For every loud and idiotic kid in front of a computer, there's a quiet and passionate kid in front of a computer." --Einstein on Video Games,2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,854 November 25, 2014 Share November 25, 2014 The forum software (IPB) uses an underwhelming search system. You'll get no disagreement from me there. That said, I use Google site search. Fixing it ... well ... it's not really broken. However it is an item we are hoping can be improved in the future. It may help if you tell me the topic you searched for. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon 4,557 November 25, 2014 Share November 25, 2014 I highly recommend using the advanced search and limiting your search to only search titles. You can access the advanced search here or by clicking the gear icon in the quick search box. When you run a keyword search, it looks through every post in every thread so you get tons of results that don't mean anything to you. Limiting it to a title search is by far the best way to find a specific topic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
