Perhaps you need to check your spelling.

The new search engine is actually more accurate than the old one, since it allows any size characters - includings characters less than 3, which the previous didn't.

The search is also based on fact and ordered by date. So if you search for "deano" it will return ALL posts that contained that term. It will not drop any posts.

who voted yes and didn't post 🥷

Current one works fine for me.

You can't search for threads in the new one, though.

Therein lies its inferiority to the old one, in my opinion. 😬

✅, Don't mods usually tell you to search for Duplicate threads before posting a new one?

Can't do that Very easily now.

Didn't know that. 😬

I want the old Search feature to come back. I seriously despise this new one. On two separate occasions, I looked for and existing thread, one in the DVD forum and the other in the Comic Book VS. Forum, and wasn't yielded any results. So, naturaly, I made new threads. Turns out, both threads already existed, and I was made to look like an ass.

Read the post I linked in there.

I have. I tried, numerous times, to use that in my search, but I got nothing. I dont know if Im doing anything wrong.

Lana mordrem

The 'title:' is the best way. Just type 'title:words you think are in the title' and you should be able to find what you're looking for.

For example, if I wanted to find a thread, say, in the Video Games forum of Resident Evil 3. I'd type "title: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis"? Actually use "title" in the search?

Lana mordrem

Type in "title:resident evil" and it'll find all RE threads.

It gets tricky with doing very specific title searches, due to misspellings and people not using full names for thread titles and stuff, so just use a word or two that you think would be in the title.

Raz Meister

If you want to use multiple words in a field search you should surround them with parenthesis i.e. the search you want is: title: (Resident Evil 3 Nemesis)

You have to remove the colon as it would be hard to distinguish it from a field search.
