How do I ask a question when the admin deletes the words in my question??

[ROBERT357]

I was trying to ask question about Pal knives and Blade Forum throws out the work Pal because it is to short ???? WTF ???

I tried to search for PAL KNIVES and the admin deleted the word PAL and searched for KNIVEs ...Is this an issue with your current problems?? I cannot use the site ...

Search terms have to be at least four letters. Use quotes around your query: “PAL Knives” and see if that helps.

Ah, I guess quotation marks don’t get around that limitation then. The character limit on search has always been a thing, so it’s not related to the upgrade AFAIK.

As far as search in general, I think it’s still indexing so it’s not fully functional yet.

D'you mean the Woodsman's Pal? That machete with a brush hook arrangement?

Not sure what you mean.....you used the word Pal twice in your post and nothing was rejected...

I bet the search won’t work on short words. An annoying attribute of some BB software.

A question for the Tech Support Forum, no ?

"Software" not "Admin".

PAL

 

[knarfeng]

Software accepted the word "PAL" from me.
If that was the only word in the title or post, the software would likely have rejected it. But the software does not reject 3-letter words.

Did a search for Vintage PAL Knives and it was successful.

The results you get are all uses of the words Vintage, or knives, or PAL. Not very helpful search results on this site. Using quotes, I get no results from PAL or "PAL knives" or "PAL Cutlery"

Either the search function is not yet fully functional, or the software is rejecting 3 letter words entirely.

PAL Knives site:www.bladeforum.com

type above into google

Whenever a BF search doesn't get me what I'm looking for I use the "Google Advanced Search". Use bladeforums.com for the site or domain entry. Works great.

Search seems to be working now. It even let me enter PAL.
"PAL Cutlery" gets better results, without a bunch of Pay Pal chaff.

Search index is being rebuilt (again) but should be done in a couple hours
