How does it work?


I never get anything.


For instance, QD-21

Take the dash out...

Have to play around with the wording/spacing/etc sometimes to get results.

Re: Search Function

actually the search engine works quite well....just takes some getting used to

but you have to give it the correct words......

or a user name to narrow down the fields....

Re: Search Function

Yes for get the dash and just search for qd21 and you will get results.

Now the search will not work with 3 letter search terms........ or it would return too many results so the 4 letter is the minimum allowed by the forum software.

Re: Search Function

You can use Google outside of iboats to search for less than 4 characters within the site. "3hp site:forums.iboats.com" in a Google search box gives all 7000+ references to 3hp. Sometimes what you want is less than 4 characters but don't bother to search for common terms. Hope this helps.

Re: Search Function

Search for oil or 470 on the IO forums or all of the forums for that matter, there are a few thousand on each, but neither shows anything using search.
