The search function is too limited.  Either that, or I have no clue how to use it.

I tried to search for an older Speedometer thread.  The 'search' won't let you look for more than 15 posts.  It won't work by limiting the search to just the subject or message body.  It still gives you both.  It won't search for just a single user. 

Every time I try a different combination of perimeters, I will only get the last 15 posts with the word Speedometer in it.

Makes the search function useless.

What am I doing wrong here?

Tim, for now I would sugggest using google to search the forum, just put the cj3a page forum in front of your search term. I tried to up the number of search results but could not , will need to have Dave do it. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Also, if you type in a members name you still have to go to the drop down box to the right and check if you want posts they have posted in or posts they have started or whatever...If you just put in the posters handle it doesn't work.

Sure is goofy, isn't it..

Thanks Bill.

I thought I was losing my mind.  I hope we can improve this feature.  I know how helpful it has been for me.
