alvin777 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hi. Why can't Search find things like: 10.4.9 or 10.4.10 Even if the " " are used, it still can't find it. Is there an option to just search a thread? For example if I'm looking for 10.4.9 or 10.4.10 limiting it only to the "Official GA-965P-DS3 Thread", how do I go about this?

bwhsh8r Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Search is {censored} now because every time i try and search the {censored} goes "One or all of your search keywords were below 4 characters or you searched for words which are not allowed, such as 'html', 'img', etc, please go back and increase the length of these search keywords or choose different keywords." which is true.... there are things that are under 3 letters, such as VIA or other things....... even when allmost all of the search has more than 3 letters...... if theres one 3 letter word or 2 letter/# word it {censored} about it!!!!! which pisses me off so much cause i cant {censored} search the {censored} forum when im trying to {censored} help people on irc and {censored}. thank you that is all....... related to this i think......

olinboy1 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I agree completely... I've found myself thinking lately "Ok, I can't use a three letter word... what OTHER word can I use to look for DVI,AGP,ETC specific questions/answers?" You have to think of the "search" option as a fun little brain teaser game now or you'll never survive a troubleshoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Marvin Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Ergh, I'm with you there - the search is dreadful Maybe you can get something if you put it in google along with site:http://forum.insanelymac.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loccy Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Agree entirely. I use a certain another Hackintosh forum primarily because of this limitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kchase Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I would be so very helpful if they would allow three letter searches....this is an "OSX" community and you cant even search that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cringemaster Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Yeah search sucks ass. It just doesnt work for me, or brings up tons of irrelevant things. edit: holy {censored} it lets me say ass! edit2: aw.. i cant say {censored}... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 We might move away from fulltext to something that will allow two letter searches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VvWolverinevV Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I agree. It's debilitating not to be able to search for 3-letter strings. I recommend maclife.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Use my OSx86 Search Engine (in sig). It searched all OSx86 content including InsanelyMac very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
