why do some search terms not return results

[Sweetum]

when I know that there's atleast one thread with that word. I even tried to match the case. Thanks.

Yes, I have had that problem too!!!

Not sure

Some words are too short. Some are too common and aren't used in the search.

You can try using Google and putting in the terms and then site:windsorpeak.com.

If you can give an example, that would help. As an alternative, there are instructions for using Google to search our site pinned to the top of this forum.

Not the OP, but I've noticed this too. I recently tried to search for "PKU", and got nothing.

This info is stickied at the top of the forum in case you need to reference it again later:

How to search on short terms (like rsv or wii)
Currently, our search is only indexed for words with at least 4 letters. Until this is changed, here is a workaround:

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).

Thanks! I'll try it. I was trying to search for CIO. I now understand it is too short. Thanks, again.
