You can type a realy common word there (e.g. 'oranges'), and it'll turn up no results. And a bunch of other stuff it'll barely show results for, despite showing up in the forum a lot of times.

Oranges gives me 20 pages worth of results...

Are your settings right? Like check the dates, make sure you've got search posts rather than search topics selected etc.

"Clearin" has no results for me... And I have the search from 2004 until this day. I know my name has been said before.

Orange gives me 20 pages though.

That was just a word I was throwing out. 'The' turns out no results I'm pretty sure. I could've sworn I remembered seeing no results typing in oranges, but I typed it in and it turned up 20 pages like you said.

I've had this happen before as well. I've tried searching for someone's username and I've gotten no results.

Okay, I did a little searching myself and it seems to be a Zetaboards thing. There's been a few different sites reporting the issue and it's supposedly being looked in to. Tim or Rogue might have to ask Zetaboards about it for more info, but I don't think there's anything that can be done here as the function is a Zetboards one and not specific to this site.

Most likely it will be something to prevent unnecessary server loading. 'the' for example is removed from the majority of search engines. For members I suggest searching the member list rather than use the search function.
