| Okay, I'm a relatively intelligent guy , well educated with a Master's degree in Mechanical engineering, married a wife who loves my hobby, 4 kids with two in college and doing well. Had a great Christmas and everyone liked the gifts I got them , or at least pretended to. I can spell. Had good dreams last night, healthy and fun to be around ...or so I tell people. SO why the Hell won't the search function work for me? Any help would be appreciated. Don | |

| Probably the same reason why I can't seem to post more than one pic on here. The aliens did it. | |

| Works OK for me. It's kind of basic, but gives you topic titles with the search word in them. I clicked Search, entered "zephyr" in the field, clicked "go", and it gave me three threads with Zephyr in the title. I tried the advanced search feature, but it didn't find anything else or give me threads with Zephyr in the message body of individual posts, just the thread titles.

| OKay, I"m trying to track down a topic thread that talked about using Ranger axles so I'm searching for "Ranger" and gettingnothing so maybe you can't search for body text. Damn aliens. | |

| Yes! How did you find it or did you just remember?

| Well, it was my thread!
But you can also do an advanced search under "search by author" for your own name if you posted in a thread, and a list of threads that you posted in comes up.
