    The Search Feature in This Forum Sucks

    Man, trying to find my previous posts in this forum is like pulling teeth. Why isn't there an actual "Search" bar with "Advanced Search" along side "Home, Forum, Active Topics" etc. That window to the right with the magnifying glass is kinda vague and useless.

    Hi again Jacatone, clicking on your own name in any post you've made will bring up a menu that lets you "View Forum Posts". That option will show every post you've ever made to the forum including http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/...tml#post179022
    If it's important to you, you'll find a
    way. If not, you'll find an excuse.
    If you're too busy for friends,
    You're too busy.
    Attention lurkers! Join the forum,
    and enter Spider into the referrer
    field of the application.The $0.00
    USD fee will be waived.
    People will forget what you said.
    People will forget what you did.
    But, people will never forget
    how you made them feel.

    That's a problem with several forum packages and some ignore words with fewer than 4 letters which adds to the problem. I have found that doing the search using Google can help. The search would take the form of using the search term or phrase followed by a space and "site:androidtablets.net" without the quotes.
    cali thanked this.
