Why have I had such a hard time with the search function on this site? Can anybody give me some advice? I click search, I type in a word, lets say something common like, fly rod, or sage, or anything… It will not come back with any results… What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Type your word in and hit enter on the keyboard. See if that works.
I don’t use it anymore because the hits are irrelevant to the words I type into the search.
Thanks for the compliment. Try this. After making first search, select “match all words” to further filter your search.
I dont know why your search isnt working, perhaps it was just being cranky today. has this gone on for a while?
I have had problems in the past with too much information when I try a search here, if you type soft hackle you will end up with lots of hits. if you type soft you get less, but still find soft hackle somtimes you have to figure out the best (least used) word to enter.
I have also had success doing a google search, often the portion of faol I want is in the top three search results of a google search.

Keep in mind - please - we have two (2) search features here on FAOL. One for the site, articles, Fly of the Week and such.
It does NOT catalog the Bulletin Boards. We do have a separate search on the Bulletin Board for the Bulletin Board - AND - it does not catalog the general site content.
thank you, Ma’am. I was unaware of that.
It is working today for me, must have been a limited time experience… I was typing in the words and hitting enter though. :lol:
Duh :shock:
I thought rookie was playing with you…
You gotta tell it what to do…
Duckster,
I really don’t know a lot about computers and I really was trying to be helpful so I just went with the basics. :lol:
