Does anybody have the same problem in the search I have, if I put in more than one word in the search box I get a blank screen and it says done in the lower left window? Or am I just missing something?
 
does it for me even with just one word.

tried searching to find out how to bring up the line on an edge/differential quench and nothing happened...
 
Ya, for some reason the search function really sucks on this site. It does the same excact thing for me, but there doesn't seem to be a specific cause. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't; try again tomorrow maybe it will work, maybe it won't.

Or, if you're impatiant like me, then just ask your question in a new thread and if anyone gets pissy, then tell them to either answer your question, fix the search button or don't bother reading your post. That shouldn't be a problem though, everyone is pretty helpful around here.
 
If you haven't read this, pehaps it will help you:

The blank screen w/ "done" means the engine has returned too many hits to list.

Always us the "Advanced Search". Choose "Knifemakers Forums" if it's a knifemaking question.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to recognize search string operators like quotes or +.

You can also use Google and use the menu pulldown "Current site" or specify "site: Bladeforums.com" in the box after the search terms

You can fiddle with it to make it work a little better for you, but it still isn't anywhere near great. It is a large database and we are only a small part in this sub-forum.
 
Thanks Mike. That was a good tip. "You can also use Google and use the menu pulldown "Current site" or specify "site: Bladeforums.com" in the box after the search terms":thumbup:
