Default Search Is Working - please read

Posted By: Bill Cornell

Search is now functional and will return most, if not all, previous posts. There's no documentation from Network54 on how it works, so I'll provide a trial-and-error summary:

  • Each search returns 10 posts per page, with a Next link at the bottom right if more results are available.
  • When you click on a post, there's a link back to the thread it is under.
  • Results are matches on both titles and messages. Unfortunately, you can't search by the name of the poster.
  • A search on a common word (e.g., "T206") will return a huge number of posts. Try using multiple keywords and use quotes (e.g., "texas tommy") if you're looking for a phrase.
  • "Date" searches return most recent results first and go backwards. "Match" searches seem to do the opposite.
  • I've seen a glitch where if you try to go backwards, the results are lost.
  • It's kinda slow... Network54 is aware of this and will be working to improve the speed.

    If you have other discoveries, comments, etc., please post them here.
