Brian_Frank Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Many many times I have searched for Tables that I downloaded off VPUNIVERSE.com and your Search bar seems to have no idea what to do, find, or display. Useless. See attached screenshot with example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely, you are only searching in the current topic, and this is why your search results are not working. You want to select "Everywhere" to have full search. See pic for example.

Administrators Wildman Posted April 29 Administrators Share Posted April 29 On top of not searching the right category, The search runs off of Tags and if the person uploading the file doesn't tag it right and you enter for example, buffy the vampire slayer - vp cooks, its looking for that tag, it might find it if theres not of related tags for other tables out there. I searched 'buffy' in files and it popped up, and also just searched 'cooks' and all his files come up.. So bottom line you need to learn how to search before you trash the search engine.. TAGS most search engines run off of TAGS 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with my example. Search "Everything" can be used for the following table that is on this site. 0 Search Results. Duh! Try this one yourself...

Administrators Dazz Posted April 30 Administrators Share Posted April 30 There are some words that are reserved and the database doesn't like it when they are used. Avoid using any search terms including anything on THIS list as these are reserved words for database. Also, searching for "THE" may cause issues as well.
