Regardless of what search I Try, I get 0 results.  Even when I know for a fact the search terms exist in both thread titles and posts within those threads.  :(

Although I enjoy reading all the posts here to find little nuggets of information it does make it hard to search for specific things.  Seems to have been broken for the 2 weeks I've had my lpc1768 lpcxpresso board so I guess no one else has noticed/reported this yet?

Or maybe I'm the only one experiencing this problem?

Cheers

@CodeRedSupport:  yep, got it, thanks.  Just wanted to give an example to replicate the issue.

@Igorsk: Ahh right, that would explain it then, cheers.

(if any board administrators are reading, maybe it'd be helpful to highlight that the minimum search term length is 4, or maybe set it to 3 if it's not too much of a burden on the db)

Default minimum indexable word length for vBulletin is 4 letters, that's the reason why "usb" is not found. It can be changed.

Ironically the issue of forum searching has come up before ....

"Forum search fails for me. Is it working for you?"
http://knowledgebase.nxp.com/showthread.php?p=1216

This previous thread was also based on a search for the term "usb" failing.

Ahh thanks CodeRedSupport.

That'll do (although maybe it'll lag behind a little?)

Still curious why I'm having this problem though
