khoshravan Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Most of my questions are general and I think they have asked before. So I prefer to use search box for answers. But to my surprise it doesn't return any result. My surprise become more when I use google and I see some of results are from Cadtutor site. I think I am not using the search box of this site properly. I thought the search returns the result only from the subforum I am inside. So I thought it is better to ask the folks here on how to search effectively. TIA Quote
Jeff H Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 I guess using the search box to figure out how to use the search box will not work. Have tried clicking on Advanced Search under the search box and looking at the options Quote
Cad64 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Can you give an example of what you are typing into the search box? Quote

Strix Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 the search box in vBulletin prefers single keywords and doesn't work on the same 'fuzzy logic' as Google does, so if you're typing sentences into the search box that could be the problem. It also doesn't work for words of three letters and less, and completely ignores commonly occurring words Quote
