Jen, Why can't I use the search function?

Hi Jen, I've tried everything I know to use search and it still comes back as "0"...?
I thought I had the wrong Fal number...but a new post showed I was using the correct #.
Help! :(

[Jen]

Let me guess.. you're trying to search General Discussion?

Odds are we need to trim out the forum again. I'll do this tomorrow as it needs it anyways and that should fix the search problem.

Thanks Jen, but I tried all the different catagories and had the same result..."0" ??
Maybe my Fal # is not in the database?
I'll keep trying.

Jen after trying everything to use the search , I discovered that it only will work IF I have posted or replyed to a post !! If I use any word in the post or my reply ..it works...??

Still won't work everywhere else. I susect it's using my FAL number and that is all it's looking for.. Is this posible? :(

Don't type in your faloholic # unless those are the only posts you want to search for, just leave that box blank or use the other persons # that you are looking for.

milljockey...you have the secret! I was under the impression that the person doing the search had to put THEIR FAL # in that box! I wonder how many more have tried and gave up? Thanks a million milljockey,...I've been trying to use that function for weeks! :)
