How to Use the New Search Function!!!

Started by Emperor Ashtar4 pages

What's wrong with the forum because I cannot access some threads I made.

Everyone's having the problem. I'll update you guys as I can.

Well, the search function doesn't seem to be working for me.

I did search, Digi, before I posted the "Mogo vs. Ego" thread, and nothing came up.... except these results...

Fair enough. Some have more problems than others. Did you do all the Advanced stuff and search for thread titles rather than just the general search?

The new search function is still ass...

A smelly one at best.

Everyone loves insulting the search, then shuts up when I takes 2 seconds to use it right and find tons of duplicate threads and other stuff that I'm looking for.

Hell, I should just lock this so that it's view-only.

I agree with Digi. You understand how to use it and it works wonders. Better than the old one. I can find almost any thread I want

My only issue is that any thread that's a bit more then a year or more old is significantly harder to find.

But, it's a lot better.

Then tell the forum to stop making 90 threads a day.

🙄

No, you're right in a sense. But people expect to be able to find any thread instantly on a forum that makes literally hundreds of threads a day. The over-a-year thing can make it tough to find old threads, but the numerous bumps of old chesnuts we see tells me that it's not impossible....and 98% of search problems aren't from that, it's just people who don't read this thread and try it the normal way.

OK I tried everything u said Digi but the search func still doesn't work.
I still can't find the original thread of " Wolverine vs Batman". If anyone has the link to that thread plz post it on here thx lots!

Alright, I'm a little confused. I've searched for the threads about Namor Vs. Aquaman, but I can't find them through any combination of those words. Now, I have read in various current threads that there are supposedly plenty of previous posts about this fight....but I can't find them. I've followed your advice about title and thread, even made sure the forum is displaying all posts. Can anyone help me figure this out?

did you try variations on their names etc?

by typing 'mariner aquaman'

i got these results...

might be another one though, ill keep checking...

Thanks man, no I didn't think about that. I think those are what I was looking for. Thanks again!

Okay... is something funked up with the search or is it just me?

I did a test with "spiderman," the advanced options are set as recommended (I set them that way whenever I did a search before this thread existed...), and I tried both searching only the vs subforum as well as all forums. I come up with 17 results. 😬

I ordered the forum by thread title and had a browse through and there's hundreds of threads with the "spiderman" in the thread title...

Nah, that's just the new search... it gets a variety of results, but seemingly random, and most not very old.

That's kinda annoying considering a lot of the newer threads are either repeats or crap... finding one of the older longer originals has become pretty arduous...

should this still be pinned cause it seems to work fine, and no one seems to have troubles no more
