  1. neone else think it kinda sucks??
     
  2. doesn't seem like an incredibly refined search
     
  3. be more precise?

    there is an advanced option that may yield better results
     
  4. Maybe you suck at searching the box? :)
     
  5. I hate it when i try to search for acronyms and it tells me it's too short....

    like DWC, SOG, ScROG, fem, UFO, HPS, LED

    basically all the crap anyone would need to search for...
     
  6. like i searched for mango haze i got like 50million results from grow journal section
     
  7. so go into advanced search and limit which forums to search in.... :rolleyes:
     
  8. The search box is what it is, it's standard VBB search, and there isn't a whole lot we can do to change it. Try Advanced Search, might be better for you.

    Also, next time you have a complaint, could you be a BIT more respectful instead of saying something "sucks" can you maybe find something less derogatory?

    I'm sure we'll all appreciate that.

    i tried advanced search in a few specific sections.
    and i was not complaining.
    sucks... too derogatory? how about. it dosent work that well.
    or its not as good as it could be.
    or it dosent work right.
    either way it sounds derogatory idiot
    i was asking if anyone thought it sucks.
    so dont get all power trippy on me jr. ok O_O


    Name-calling is not welcome here, dude. -JD
     
  10. I usually have pretty good luck setting it to search the topic title instead of the posts
     
  11. people, do this.
     

  12. this is a reason why i wish i could still neg rep
     

  13. indeed I still move the mouse to the rep button every once in a while

    i'm not sure why people so freely insult one another as if it's a natural part of a conversation
     

  14. This.

    I've never had any problems with the search, myself. You just gotta learn how to use it right.

    For starters, always use the "Advanced Search".

    For most occasions searching the titles only will work best for your keywords, and you can also search by the member who posted it, specify specific forums, time periods, amount of replies, etc.

    I think it's really pretty good if you pay attention to the options. :confused_2:
     
  15. you will never get that reply as you can search for those acronyms without any problem

  16. ok ok. they gave me neg rep
    this is wat im sayin
    abusing their powers man
     


  17. I just checked and you got NO negative rep from anyone based on posts from this thread. Please don't mislead people.
     
  18. Guys,

    There is no char limit on the keywords searched with the GS search.
    For example, I can search easy for DWC, ScROG a fem, etc.
