Dislocated Time Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi... can someone tell me why the search function in these forums doesn't work like a google search function? When I of a search, for example: "out of memory", I get an error from the search engine that tells me that my search is 3 letters or less. Using wildcards for example *out*of*memory* doesn't work either. Anyone that searches for "Microsoft Office" will not find it because the search engine obviously only searches for the first word. Is there some secret trick to doing a search in the forums or is this just a very limited possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since we already have the Google form at the top of each page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 No better than starting a plain old Google search (from their normal sites) with "site:msfn.org" either (w/o the quotes of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
