Sheesh, Donna...apart from your posts, the Search function is the most interesting feature of the forum, ha ha. ;D The dumb thing about the Search function is that it won't let you search for any words with three or less letters in them. Try searching for the caravan brand MFC and you can't get past [GO]. The rest of the search function is easy to get the hang of...once you know the tricks Type your search word (or words) in the search field at the top, and then scroll right down the bottom of the search page to the Days field and the Results field. The default figures in those fields are 7 days, and 10 results. Just overwrite those figures, and type 3500 in the Days field, and 100 in the results field. If you get 100 results come back, repeat the search and type 200 in the results field. 3500 days will take you back to the start of this forum in 2007 (I think that's when it started) 200 results will be more than the maximum the search function will find. I think the most results it will come back with is about 150. Try it and see! Type Donna in the search field, and see how many times you've been mentioned on the forum! ;D ;D cheers, Al.

Your funny Al, I did as you suggested and this is the result I got..... This page took too long to generate and has been stopped. A log of this error has been reported to ProBoards Support. How amusing ;D Its the whole three letter thing like the word "gas" But it's better than having no search feature

Well, I just did it and put in 3500 days and 100 results and it came back with 100.
So I repeated the search and put 200 in the results, and it came back with 132.
Whoever Donna is, she sure has been hogging the forum! ;D ;D
