I have an issue with the search function.

Today..I looked for my exhaust videos....I've posted them..Probably a couple times now for others to get an example of the magnaflow sound on the 05.
I did many- many searches in both the tech and lounge...using Magnaflow..Magnaflow vids..Magnaflow Exhaust videos....Thunder05 videos...magnaflow sound clips....magnaflow exhaust...Plus even a few other stupid combinations.

Getting this same response.

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

Only on, just the word "magnaflow" did any results appear at all ..They were this ONLY!!!!

JBA or Magnaflow?????

016S197 Tech http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/images/statusicon/thread.gif IMCOs Does anyone have them?

Magnaflow has been talked about numerous times...But The word magnaflow only yeilds 2 post???? Made today only??

I found my videos by looking thru pages my old posts...They are still there and theres no reason the searches shouldn't have found them using my key words..They were posted in April.
It seems to me that the search function is only looking as far back as the split..... why?

Just to be sure ..Before posting this ...I did the following test searches with these results.

Procharger=
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

Cold air intake systems, CAI, Steeda CAI ..all the same=
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

410 gears=

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

Hurst shifter
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

These next ones are hilarious to the point of SAD!
Shaker 500 stereo=
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

TSB....Technical service bulletin ....both =
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

I'm looking at the D*mn sticky with TSB's...But nothing on a search pops up???

My issue summed up is this:

How can we expect someone new here to search a topic before posting...When I can't search for posts knowing the full topic and even the person that made the post??:sosad:

I did the same exact thing today but with different search words.

I tried Vortec and Paxton and got nothing. Then I found a post that I made just a few days ago that contained both those words.

The search just isn't working like it should.

just tried the search again using Procharger, Paxton and Vortec and only this thread came up. This is not the only thread with information on those superchargers.

I take that back, my search still isn't working. I'll have to try the fix posted earlier to see if that works.

Mine didn't work after that either. Are you guys using the Search This Forum button or the generic search button? I'm only trying to search this forum for Paxton, Procharger, or Vortech.

I found out what the search problem is.
My post above this quoted one tells you how to fix it...lol

While in the lounge or tech index page..scroll to the bottom of the page to display options.
It should say "LAST POST TIME" and "BEGINING" Reset the options by hitting "SHOW THREAD".
After resetting this my search function works fine.:happyhapp

Yep, I'm using the Search this Forum button and I get almost no results. I tried searching for Saleen earlier and got four hits. I find it very hard to believe that Saleen has only been mentioned four times.
