Chefmom Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 A huge part of this board is its past cache of valuable info on candles, techniques, wicking etc. Where did it go?? I have lots of notes that I have written over the past couple of years, but I still come back and do searches for others experiences with various types of waxes and wicks etc. Nothing comes up in the searches. Its as if all of that info is just gone. Is it gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 No it is not gone. The search is a little different than is was before. You really need to be specific and no short search words Like "wax" that will get you no where fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymay66 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I thought it was gone too! I searched for certain topics and can't find it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have been able to use it thank goodness! I think I would be lost without it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefmom Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Well, nothing I search for comes back with results. Too few letters in words, "removed" from search, or I'm searching too many times in too many seconds. Even when I typed in something I knew should bring up results like "palm container test" I get no results for this search. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, this isn't my first pony show....search wise, but it's a shame, there is a lot of info on this board....it's just a heck of a lot harder to find......

Hi, I had this problem too and I discovered that in the search box at the top of the page there is a little icon that says' this topic' if I click on that it brings up forums so I clicked on forums and now I can search. Hope that made sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefmom Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) That is weird I typed that in and got 165 results but I did not use the " " I did not use the quotes in the search. It came back with no results. None of the searches I have tried have brought back any results. I'll try what Joannec suggests next.

Vicky_CO Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Did Joannec suggest work for you? It did not even dawn on me about that search box. I knew it did that but it just did not come to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megandgarr Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 The advanced search option typically works for me. It looks like a little wheel and it is just to the right of the magnifying glass up near the search bar. From there you can be a bit more specific on what you search for, which topics to search under and how you want your results to display (as a topic or post) and I usually have very good results. I haven't searched recently, but if memory serves me, the search criteria must be greater than 3 characters which is kind of a bummer if you are trying to search for a supplier by their acronym. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
