MSE Searching...

Does the search tool on this site actually work?

Searching for Wii and it says that there is nothing, tried doing the advanced search too.

Want to find that page which listed at the Wii stock.

    possibly a three letter search is too short. it's a but of a pain but it kinda makes sense as three letters are likely to return loads of searches. try searching for offers on 'ds'! :D

    Well a bit but its still more usefull than a v bulletin search function :)
  • I know it can be almost as much a pain as you ;) but you need to think outside the box when searching sometimes and for a wii thread about stock for instance I would key in a shop name rather than wii and use a board search rather than the main site search which searches all boards.

    If I'm searching for a short word I usually do something like this:
    wii******* to make the word seem longer. It brought up loads of posts when I tried it just now.

    I find searching the forums only works for me in IE, and not in Firefox.
