First, have you read through the other “sticky” about how to use Search? Check here.
- Complaint: 80% of the time, search finds nothing.
You may be hitting “Stop Words” (a hyperlink is included towards the end of that sticky above) or you may be entering words that are too short. In both cases, those words get ignored. Here’s the list of “Stop Words” (link removed).
- Complaint: If a thread has more than one page, clicking on Next or the next page number ends with a Nothing more page. Is there something broken somewhere?
Search result sets are tied to your session id by a cookie. This problem may be cookie-related. See: https://bobj-board.org/t/60944
