Search function

[Admin Jaap]

The standard search results can be sorted by relevance or last update time. This will produce better results.

You can also use the advanced search.

 

I know it takes a little bit more effort than it used to, but there are still options to produce to the point results.

I can't change the default settings now, maybe in a future version.

Wow! This is the first time I've used the search function on the new site, and it took me directly to what I was looking for.

A question has come up about searching for a number (Scura) 599:

Is it possible the search function only sees words and not numerals?

Figured it out with some experimentation and googling.

 

This forum won't allow a search term with less than 4 characters.  So, for example, in the registry, it will find "wales" but not "usa" or "599".  It also won't search profile info or tag lines either, which is why it couldn't find occurances of #599 which existed in the profile of Guzzistajohn.

Makes sense, but:  I could not search common part numbers recently posted for flywheels.

 

It finds "GU04067000" but not "04 06 70 00" or "04067000"
