why does Search not find anything?

[Belhaven]

I went looking for posts on Tae Ew in the Smithing forum

I tried "tae ew" "tae AND ew" and "Tae Ew"

yet if I scroll down I can see a post on Tae Ew Chain

Search found 86 matches

tae ew searching just the smithing forum

I'd have to see what other options you have selected, but searches work great for me.

I just tried to search for 'tae ew' using the default search options, and it comes up with nothing. /shrug. Perhaps it gets confused when you dont' specify a forum... remember just because you click 'Search' in a specific forum, it doesn't automatically search in that forum.

I haven't had it at default for a bit I guess...

(o) Search for any terms or use query as entered
( ) Search for all terms

I switched it to search for all terms and no results came back.

My regular search without a specified forum returned 174 matches.

Maybe the "Search for All Terms" thing is bugged. Switch it to search for any terms or use query as entered and your results should change.

The problem is more likely that search engines do NOT like small words... and that is 2 small words.
