Is for me? Well about as well as it ever does.

 

maybe " ka " is too short for it?

 

needs 3 letters minimum ...

 

bugger so cant search for ka then good system,
saying that type in ford and tell me how many results you get???

 

The search is extremely heavy on teh server and as a result it was limited after pet surveyed what was often searched for. As an example, people regularly searched for... wait for it...


"LOL"

I mean, FFS, whats teh point? Yet we have literally HUNDREDS of people searching a 1.1gig text only database at once, and its compiling lists of topics for them with "LOL" and another common one, "Turbo" in it. This was creating huge load problems at times, so Pet limited it so people with common sense could still find what was required, and pointless words came up with a blank.

Be honest, what did you expect searching for "Ford" to achieve?

Also, dont foget to try teh google search.

 

searched ford as a test after ka returned nothing, thats why i though it was broken? didnt know common words had been removed.

completely forgot about the google pf option, will give it a try

 

If people werent so daft, we wouldnt have to bin most simple oen word searches, but sadly, they are.

I will ask Pet to remind me what the MOST COMMON searches were.

I know that "LOL" "PMSL" and "Turbo" were in there though...

 

Stu, The google search works really well, perhaps the PHP search should
be disabled forever and freeing up resources to keep it all speedy on here.

I dont know how often google updates it search reference tables though ???

 

thats fair enough, if it keeps the speed up and load off the board

tho google pf search still didnt find my thread

 

I dont know teh answer myself Simon, but i normally find teh google search works well.

 

Its amazing how intense a database search can be when 200people are using it at once. The PF databas is currently at 1.1gig and is text only of course, so pretty damn huge.

There will be a LOT of "lol"s in there...

 

What thread?
And who was teh author?
Do you remember a specific comment by a specific member in it?
Maybe yourself?

 

im not expert in understanding the going on of the internet, so probably not using it right

thread = https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=253702

author = me

comment searched, ka lamba, http://www.google.com/custom?domains...D%3A1%3B&hl=en

 

personally, i would have either searched for:

1) Engine experts.

OR

2) lambda (In the Search keyword box)
by
Fil (Put this bit in username search)

You will find both those return your search perfectly.

Failing that, go to teh index page:
https://passionford.com/forum/index.php

And top right, click on:
View your posts.

A similar search si available in your own profile too.

 

use the view your post all the time, wasnt looking for my threads, was original wanting to search for ka engine, to find posts on engine problems, but ka being 2 letters dont help, then i just got confused

think my problems started at 8am when the other half phone'd me to say shes in a layby on the A13,

 

That would do it...
