If I do the “search for all threads by this user” option for someone else, it gives me results, and I can see what other people have posted.
But if I do it with my name (or do someone else’s name and replace their name with min in the URL bar), it says “Please enter some words or a username to search for,” and it doesn’t register.
I think it has to do with the length of my name (I can’t see what else it would be.)
So what’s up? Is this a problem which you can fix, or do I just need to change my name?
that the problem’s been here a long time.
But the main things seem to be:
> there is a time lag to get things into the index
> there is no indexing on 1- or 2-letter words, to avoid an index so full of “a” and “to” that it really slows down. Search Function Question 5/1
The “Big Changeover” was sometime last May, I believe. Prior to that time, we were using the Ultimate Bulletin Board software, whereas since then, we’ve used the vBulletin software, so almost nothing technical from before then is valid anymore. There was also a lesser change a couple of months ago, but that was just an upgrade to a different version of vB, so most stuff remained valid then.
