Well so much for the new search tool

[Rupp]

It may work on 3 letter words now but it sure doesn't work on simple phrases like "out of memory"

I just did a search on out of memory and it returned nothing, yet here are 2 posts that were posted in the last few days:

Rupp -

I am sure many would have replied to this message sooner, but a search for it turns up nothing

I have found that it only works with a single word as the search parameter, multiple words don't work at all.

Yet another function of Infopop-Eve that doesn't work anywhere.

OUT OF MEMORY SEARCH:

I tried that a while back - forgot the results though.......

I once bought a set of those "Build your Memory" instructional cassette tape sets, after it arrived I placed it somewhere and forgot where....

---sorry....couldn't resist!

The problem is due to the word "of", since "of" is a common word it is excluded from their index and goofs up an exact search. If you do an exact phrase search for "out memory", I think you will find what you are looking for. Not right or logical, but it is often possible to workaround it by avoiding common words.

You can add your vent here, the more complaints about it the faster it might get fixed.

Wayne,

Good point. What are the words to avoid in searches? My guess:
Of, and, or, +, -, not, nor ....
