Forum Search Tool Question

Forum Search Tool Question

Forum Search Tool Question

(OP)
Happy Monday morning to everyone :)

I always put my handle at the end of my questions so I can use it as a keyword.  For some reason only about 1/2 of my questions are found with the search tool.  Anyone know why this happens?  I did find what I was looking for using the "My Threads" link.  Just curious why this is I guess.

Thanks,
Bloodclot

This could be a question for the site owners.

RE: Forum Search Tool Question

Using the regular search function to find handles and threads are very limited.  For example, if I search for rockguy AND photoworks, the search really doesn't find half the posts.  What you have to do is use the Google search at the top of this forum and make sure the "ENG-TIPS Forum" option is picked.
