Seriously, how come the search function at this site isn't worth a fuck? I try searching for "assault on precinct zero" get no results, try "precinct zero" get no results, then search for plaid and find a shitload of topics with the entire phrase "assault on precinct zero." This isn't the only time it happens, it happens basically every time I try to make a search and have to end up trying to work around it by searching for things that are related to it. I think maybe there would be a lot less re-hashed topics around here if people could actually find what they were searching for?

if you'd try serching for only "precinct" (which is the most uncommon out of those) you'd get 38 topics related...now you can find quckly the thread you were looking for amobg this 38 im sure
but i agree, i cant find threads im looking for quite often...

Don't search for three letter words? well thats good advice except I didn't. If you are telling me not to search for "three word phrases", then that as well would be the dumbest thing ever based on the fact that any GOOD search engine SHOULD be able to find "Assault+On+Precinct+Zero" if they are in exactly that order (which they were). All I'm saying is that asking a search engine to find a 4 word phrase in this day and age is NOT a big deal.
Oh, and sorry I can't please everyone with my avatars. I happen to think it's quite funny and that, in fact, you suck.

hehe, testosteroni- sounds like some type of pasta gimmick. I may have jumped to conclusions, but I do this all the time on search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc.. and I never have any problems. So maybe they are better at programming search engines (no offense phob)? I for one wouldn't be able to do better but I'm just not used to having to make one word searches. sorry.

i don't see phobia that much lately on here, or am i wrong?
But zephyr, you can ofcourse make searches of more than one word, only make sure they are all longer than three letters.

It the search engine searched for three letters or less it woul cripple the site.
Even including a filter wouldn't work as to filter out certain words it would have to find them :S
