Problem searching old threads.

I'm having a problem. Whenever I try to search for a thread using specific words that I know are part of the subject title, I can never seem to find the specific thread in question! What am I doing wrong?

For example, there is a current thread referring to Parachute rides. Parachute is in the subject. But when I search using the word Parachute, I cannot seem to locate the thread I'm looking for. I must be doing something wrong, because I see people posting links to old threads all the time...

Thanks

I always have the same problem.

When i search for "Canobie" It shows every topic ive responded to because my sig has canobie in it.

Im the #1 Canobie Lake Park Fan!!!These are my top 3 coasters:
1. S:RoS @ SFNE 2. Yankee Cannonball 3. Cyclone/B:TDK

There are so many topics on so many common things that it isn't that simple. More to the point, it will often return results where the word was mentioned the most times.

Does the search feature have the AND/OR capability?

No, it's an algorithm that scores topic by the keywords you provide. I could do an and/or type of query, but the code to parse it right would be a nightmare. SQL Server is really picky about what you give it.

Ok, thanks for the info.

...but we've yet to find a product that works better for what we need....;) Of course, our needs are slightly different than the needs of the coasterbuzz community....
