Using the Search Option

[VixenSingsBlack]

So I've been trying to find reviews of roving sellers by using the search tool. However, whenever I type in "roving" to the search box and select the Hair Seller Reviews section, I get this "The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: roving. You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards."

I don't understand why "roving" has been blocked. How can I search for what I need if the key word is blocked? I am looking for reviews of sellers who specifically make DE Roving so I can choose intelligently for my next roving purchase. How do I do this?

roving hasn't been blocked, the search is saying it is too commonly found to list all the responses. I am surprised by this though as I wouldn't have thought there could be that many. I will see whether one of the admins can change the limit to the number of entries it will return, so that it has no upper limit. If we can't do that then maybe we need to see whether we can tag entries, or put certain keywords in the title or something.

For now, I think you will have to just open the threads and see whether they sell roving, there aren't that many threads just yet, so not as much of a task as it could be, and I am sure there are some people you will know do not sell roving and won't need to open those threads/ Not ideal I agree, but could be worse, and we will see if we can resolve the issue

yea..you know i did a search in the advertising section for "professional only wig" and it wouldn't search...said the same thing about being too common a search term and to narrow it down. hmm..it sounds like a configuration or programming problem with the search feature.

it's really hard to expect newbies to search before posting new questions if the search feature is so ineffective

it would be nice to get an admin type response to this if possible. i don't believe this is a phpbb type board format, but if i knew what format it was i might even be able to do a bit of research to help with suggestions on refining the search feature. could be as simple as changing some default settings

It's phpbb. The subsilver2 layout has the phpbb logo at the top
