Has any one else has issues with the search button on this website? I frequently get pointed to it by google searches, and often find what I'm looking for in stickys, but I've tried searching for things on several ocasion using the forums search function and it always says that the queryed words were too common or something like that.
I've never had a successful search...

Re: the search function
The search works fine, if you're looking for something you've seen before and can avoid the army book phrases or common abbreiviations.
I think Nag's mentioned it before as it being too difficult to increase the range of it due to memory reasons etc. He'll swing by and answer in more detail soon enough.

Re: the search function
At the moment, we have 168062 indexed unique words on this site, and 5971459 number of word to post relations indexed with a 3% common word threshold. That means that words which are in more than 3% of all written words on this site (i.e. every 33rd word) will be considered too common to be searchable. A search on such a word will result in several million hits and be unreasonable to sift through anyway.
If you're having trouble finding what you are looking for, you need to be more specific, make use of several words you want to search for, and set what forum to look in, and most effectively; name the author of the post you are looking for.
