Default Forum Search tool not working at all. keeps saying No results!!??

No matter what I type in the search bar it keeps saying No matches. Doesn't matter what I search for, it says that for anything. I'm getting really pissed as I'm trying to find some info on replacing front axle ujoints and thats pretty much impossible without the search tool working properly. Anyone else having this problem today? This is bullsh*t.

the search function on this site is horrible..

tip: use google, and search w/ dodge forum in the criteria... it is much better than the embedded feature for finding stuff fast..

When it's working, I have no problem finding anything I need via the search feature, and I probably use it more than anyone on the site, but the search function is currently FUBAR, was reported friday, unfortunately I don't believe the IB techs work weekends... Should be fixed early in the week...

if you want to use google to search dodge forum you should enter " site:dodgeforum.com " first so that google will search dodgeforum.com only then enter whatever you are looking for after that.

awesome. so i think the best thing that ever happened with the search process is that it broke, and we learned this new trick.

it actually works a lot better than the site search, which excludes short words such as "O2" or "CB".

from df -The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : cb
