LMAO!:bows:
I still want an answer...just stupid to have a site that many of us pay to use and we can't utilize a basic function. The site claims to be informative and insightful but you can't search anything on it...

I've never had a problem. Have you tried the "Advanced Search" function?

I think you have to have the "boosted" version of the site. Have they not sent you the download yet?

Forget about the search function.
I prefer to just guess.

GAME OVER, YOU LOSE!
You've said this in the past, what is your secret? Do you use quotes, + signs ? I try typing the exact thread title in and it's on like the 4th page.
I was easier with index cards
I have no clue what y'all are talking about. How about specific examples. The search function is integral to the vBulletin software. What do you want it to do that you're not able to do?
At some point soon, we will have to upgrade the whole look, feel and functionality of the website to keep up with the support of vBulletin.

My next statement is not meant to start an argument or bash fest in any way, it is my opinion...however I know it is shared by MANY.
Along with this upgrade, the site should be allowed to grow beyond the tired level of strict functionality that it is...I know the owners want things to stay the way they are but unfortunately the first group of people involved in this site are onto other things in this life or the next...That being said the newer / younger crowd is different. Our sense of humor is different, our outlook on life is different and our tastes are different. If the owners don't care to have the site continue to grow or at least maintain its current level of membership, then simply don't change...but remember this when you are sitting at Carlisle or Marauderville and there are only four of you sharing in what used to be a family.
I hear the term family used to describe this place, I thought that a true family over looked the differences that each other has and makes compromises to accommodate each other. Its no secret that we have lost or "excused" many of the core group of people due to differences in opinions on what should or should not be posted...we have asked for a private section / non public page where we can joke around and talk freely....why is this such an issue? The forum would not be adversely affected by something the public can't access...where is the issue? Why can't you guys let go of the reins just a little, it won't be a bad thing...if it is you can delete it...why not try something new instead of digging your heels in and starting a pissing match?
PLEASE DO NOT START SLAMMING THE MODS / OWNERS, THAT IS NOT WHY I POSTED THIS....
What does this have to do with the search function?
Honestly, Chris, we are damned if we do and damned if we don't. "The Dark Side" was such a "freedom" many years ago and unfortunately it brought out the worst in the membership. A number of people were hurt by the bullying and down-right nastiness in the "no holds barred" forum. Why would I want to support such behavior, even in private?
We have tried to be lenient and that comes back to bite us as well. We are accused of being unfair or playing favorites. It's obvious we can't please everyone. We have some that defy the policies now. Do some really think that if the reins were loosened that stated policies would be complied with? I already have a full time + job.
Maybe the next version of vBulletin has a more refined search function.

As far search examples go I think Curless hit on it. Type in a specific thread and you'd think it would be near the top of the first page but if it's anywhere it's 3-4 pages back. I know some search engines like quotes around stuff or + signs and I've tried both with no success. 
Is there a tutorial of search use in the vBulletin? Maybe it's easy and only Charlie has figured it out.
As far as the other question I like the site like it is but would like new emoticons to pick from and would prefer a built in spell check. Why should the old timers have to change? Youngins' can learn to adapt more readily. JMHO
How does the chat room work? Can we BS in there more freely? I've gone there a few times but it doesn't seem to be being used. :dunno:
