Why can't I search on Wii?

[MrsZaz]

I've tried searching for Wii and no threads come up? I know that there are at least two different Wii threads started? What am I doing wrong?


Thanks for the help.

Sometimes the search function is weird....try "nintendo wii" and it will pull up some matches.

Currently you can't search for 3-letter words. You can use Google as a workaround though. Here are some recent threads:

To search for short terms:
Go to Google's search page. In the search bar, put:
site:http://www.windsorpeak.com/vbulletin wii

(substitute your search term for "wii" in the above example).

Just tried exactly this and it didn't work for me. Is it really "/vbulletin wii" at the end? I just tried to search for Wii Fit yesterday and had no luck, so I was wondering about this.

I just ran a search and that was exactly the search phrase I used.

I don't know if this will work, but here is my search results page:
http://www.google.com/search?source=...h&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

And for Wii Fit:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&r...t&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

Are you able to see the search results using my links?

OK, I see now. I think I forgot to use "site:". Thanks!
