Night Elf Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 This sounds like a dumb question but how do I search for past threads? I'm using the search bar at the top right. I typed in the word flu and nothing comes up. There is a thread on the first page with flu in the title so it should show that one, right? What am I doing wrong?

Heatherwith4 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I have no idea. I haven't been able to find anything via search since the changeover. I'm bumping, in case someone knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Search function currently is practically useless. It's very disappointing. I hope it gets fixed. THere's a thread about it on the Site News forum. Someone there mentions that the search function is case sensitive, so you'd need to search for FLU since the title is all caps. I didn't check if that works or not. Either way... dreadful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnificent_baby Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I think you have to tell the search box where to search. Try this: type the word you are searching, click on 'this topic' (to the very right of the search box), which will pull down another menu. Choose 'forums' instead. HTH!

I just tried this with "flu" and then "FLU" and said to search forums. Both came back with no threads. Very unhappy with search function.

Very unhappy with search function. Yep, just tried too and not working. That's strange! I was just messing around with it, and typed influenza and a whole bunch of flu threads appeared.

6wildhorses Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Ever since the search stopped working I've been typing what I'm looking for in google and adding on well trained mind. This gives me some good results from the WTM forums. It would be so nice if the search function worked, but at least this gives me some results.
