The Seeker 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 Is it possible to fine tune the search function somehow, just for certain words or expressions? It's virtually impossible to search for "The Who" for example, or "REM"/"R.E.M.", and so on. Also, is there any way to cut down the time restriction a little, so you don't have to wait thirty seconds each time? I'm not sure why it's there at all, whether it's to prevent spamming somehow, or overloading the server or for some other reason, but maybe something could be done at least for registered members.

bluesboy 5 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 I've found if you start on the last page and work backwards, there's very little wait time. For example, your search brings up 5 pages. Start at page 5 and work down to page 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Yes, that works for me too. But if I search for two different things, or if I make a typo the first time I've to start a new search, and then I have to wait again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earth-Angel 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 I don't mind the boolean searches. It's just the lack of consistent terminology or when you are looking for something specific, there are some threads which are no longer with us. When we did the move, there are a lot of threads which went *poof*. Seems to be anything older than a year before we transferred FYI: I don't delete any of the Q&A threads. I merged a few Music Discussion dupes, but all of those post move will be there so that is a huge resource of threads. Some are hard to search through anyway (although I have a photographic memory which helps as I can usually remember the user who posted what I am after). /never meant it to be so long.
