Search seems to be not working.

Hi

Whoever maintains the Forum May i point out that the search seems not to be working properly. When I search for "Date Format Problem Empty" The I get the message that my search terms are too general. Not even when I put Quotes around the words to make it a sting it helps. Perhaps that "general" setting is too restrictive. How else could I have searched the forum for a Display error with a Date field?

Luckily we only had 3 pages of Messages so it was not too difficult to page through manually. But in future this might become too much.

Thanks for doing a great job.

Fundi,

I'm not sure why it does this but try using *form* to search for the word form or subform.

When you search just plin for form you get this back
----------------
Information

The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: form.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.
--------------

if you search for *form* you get proper search results.

I presume you have a exception list that is set to general.
Thanks for running the forum.
