Search Tool Problems?

[csample]

Has anyone else been having trouble with the search tool on the diyAudio site? I just searched the entire forum for "led" and got nothing (did not include quotation marks in the search). I have been having the same trouble on both my personal computer (mac) my work computer (windows) and my phone (iphone).

I think it's the term. Does not work for me either, but lead returns many results.
Maybe too short, but usually that returns a warning.

It's an artifact of the MySQL full text search, which by default has a minimum search index size of 4 letter words or greater. When we move to XenForo, we'll have a much much much better in-house search solution in place.

Try putting:

led site:diyaudio.com

into google

Jason, glad to hear that there is a new search engine in the works. Tony, thanks for showing the work around using Google search - it will be very helpful until the search engine improvement is implemented. Thanks for working to make this a great site, I am really grateful to those who created the site and those who share such great designs and content here.
