HOW TO GET THE SEARCH FEATURE TO WORK EVERY TIME

Post by _Dr. Shades »

Several of you have tried to use our search feature and have been taken to a page that says, "The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words[.]"

To get around this, type an asterisk (*) after the word (or one of the words) for which you're searching. Sure, it'll give you back each iteration of the word. . . for example, typing "duplicate*" will bring you back both "duplicate" and "duplicated," but at least your search will work.

Give it a try, and never be frustrated with our search feature again!

Most of us who know how to design, build, and navigate databases knew this.

Then I guess I was the only one who didn't know this. :-(
