    search feature not working

    Can someone pls tell me why the search feature isn't working for me. I'm searching on "Sig," so some results should pop up, but nothing.
    Also the same thing is happening to me on xdtalk.
    Could it be my PC?
    Thanks

    1) CG's search sucks, it is a known fact

    2) it won't work with "less than 4 letters keywords"

    3) use google instead..... eg. "sig site:calguns.net"

            Q: What was the most positive result of the "Cash for Clunkers" program?
            A: It took 95% of the Obama bumper stickers off the road.

                The limitation on the search feature is usually the forum software. The shorter the search query the more results it will find so it will put more usage on the server and MYSQL database.
                Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from poor decisions.

                      i just use http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=01...78:pzxbzjzh1zk to search Calguns. it works great.

                      the link to this is called "CGN Google Search" and it's located to the right of "Sponsors" and above "OLL Assembly Guide" in the toolbar where the CA Flowcharts are located.
