I just used advanced search, worked just fine for me...

 

I just searched for posts under my username and got this result

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search :


Seems the search is very hit or miss recently.

Ok, gotchya, that is an issue we are working on, it gets confused when you don't enter a search term (i.e. just a username and the term area is blank)
In the mean time, go to your profile, under "statistics", select "Find all posts by "VIPRETR2"

 

exactly

 

That issue should be fixed!

 

Still doesn't work. When I search for a topic with relevancy, I get neither in my results. All of the results I get are from today, the titles and thread location have no relevancy to my search.

 

What exactly did you search?

 

'EGR intake plug'
'MS3 nitrous'
and others that I can't really recall at the moment. Fact is, the search definitely doesn't work the same as it has in the past.

 

I've tried searching "Free Mods" and nothing dealing with free mods pulls up. Just other stuff.

 

Yeah, it seems the search is hosed for me as well.

I just tried searching L92 heads and got some irrelevant results. The first result was titled "Yup, motor is toast" so I read it looking for my search terms and saw a 92 in there. So for grins I tried searching L93 heads thinking it made a hit on the 92, but apparently not. I got the same exact results it seems.

 

yea ive tried "electric fuel pressure gauge" and i got pages of stuff that have NOTHING to do with even any of the words in my search

 

Yep....it seems that the search is defaulting to ANY keyword....not ALL keywords......

 

Try using the "quotation" marks around the phrase

 

I tried using quotation marks. Still got 10 pages of irrelevant threads.

 

searh is not pulling up anything but new threads no key words.

 

Same here!
I tryied a few times to search 4l80 and nothing relevant pops up. In addition to that I cant sort the results at all because the pull down menue to search by post date or relevance isnt there!

 

Same here; I'm getting off the wall search results.

 

That seems to work for me. Thanks
