Re: Search Not working

How many characters are you putting in your search window? I just tried it and it works fine, you just need at least 4 characters.

I stopped using the search on this site because how sporadically it works/doesn't work.

If I need to search it I use Google and limit it to searching the domain longrangehunting.com

To do this, if I want to find 7mm.... I type into google:
7mm site:longrangehunting.com

What's nice about this is that Google doesn't limit you to a string length. You can also put quotes around a phrase to seach for that exact phrase.

For example I can search for "7mm reload?" by typing into Google:
"7mm reload" site:longrangehunting.com
Only pages with the exact phrase "7mm reload" will be listed.


You can also combine phrases and words
+"tikka t3" +"270 wsm" +reload site:longrangehunting.com
The + forces the word or phrase to be in the document. Without it, it will find pages with partial matches.

I have only had the search work for me one time. All other times it says the same as you found. Just thought it was my computer.

Re: Search Not working

Thank you so much for that google tip! This thread should be made a sticky. I too have never been able to search for any term no matter the length. I always got the same result of 0! Very frustrating. Now I can start getting some use out of searching this site. Thanks again.
