Search problem?

RedMaestro2 · 06-23-2012, 01:54 PM

When I punch "KGB" into a forum search I get the "sorry" no results answer. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Could this be a database error? Or is the agency itself covering its tracks?

(Sorry if I've posted this question in the wrong place.)

Did you search the whole forum or a subforum? Some subforums will not contain "KGB".

I tried the whole forum, followed by some likely subforums. Nothing.

Do any other 3 letter words work for you?

Nope! So that's the problem. Thanks

Some info from the past.

It seems the host has either disabled it again, or they have migrated this site to a different server hence the return of the problem.

Red Maestro2,
You can search for 3-letter words on the forum by using Google instead of the forum's own search engine.

For example, to search for "KGB", you would type this in Google:
site:soviet-awards.com/forum +KGB

It will return all the threads that have the word KGB in it and you just have to click the one you want to access. Not quite good as searching the forum directly, but it works.
