Search troubles

I wonder if the search function can be adjusted? When I searched for the term Motion, I got this response: "The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words"

 

How am I supposed to search for answers if the forum software won't even let me search for what I'm looking for?

I agree with Avonlea22,

I was trying to see what others have done for creating an "All Off" scene or program so I did a search for "all off scene program" and it told me that all these words are too common. I agree that they are probably too common in a forum like this but it really restricts the search feature.

 

How about when a common word is used in the search tool, that it limits the amount of returns either by dates or thread count so that the search doesn't bog down the system?

I have mostly given up using the forum search function. Recently I tried to find a post I remembered about restoring a PLM but faced the same issues as other posters when trying to search for the exact phrase "restore PLM".

 

Fortunately google will allow you to restrict your search to a specific URL and still allows all the advanced operators like +*"-.

 

I found the exact post I was looking for in seconds.

 

Just click the advanced link on the Google search page.
