Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

The search engine has never worked good.

I know the searched word is in some threads and still it comes up with the above message.

This is really annoying, why is it never fixed?

Hello:

It would help if you stated what it was you were searching on for it is NOT all the time by any means. If you tell us then maybe we can advise on the reason you receive the message.

For example...I just searched for "some different terms" (with the quotes) and found your post with issue.

Thank you.

A suggestion. Try Google.com, including avsforum as a search term. They've got one of the best search engines in the world. -- John

Ok, it's just Really sad that to search this site we have to use Google.
I agree that the search on this site is really bad. I'd say it's almost worthless and I'm pretty good at using it. I do have better luck searching Google which sends me back to this site.
Did D*tv create the search software for this site? lol

I have had good luck on a lot of forums using Google to do searches rather than the built in search engine of the particular site.
