When using search this way



The member name must be typed 100% correctly or it will not find any posts.
CONNERHILLS = fail
Connerhills = fail
ConnerHills = fail
connerhills = all posts by @connerhills

When typed correctly, it looks like this.

Same for me.

Thank you. The same happens to me, I found it strange and confusing at times.

I would also like to search for http://www.poultrydvm.com and have the search find this: http://www.poultrydvm.com/condition/canker

I've never found the on-forum search feature to be worth a chicken doody. There are tons of information on this forum which is good but hard to access and very time comsuming with the forum search. It is much easier and quicker to go to google and type what I'm looking for and then type a space and then "site:www.backyardchickens.com" to find results here. I know you are trying to improve on it so maybe you can implement something like that.

Ah - this is interesting. I'll report this to the team to investigate further.

The auto-fill doesn't seem to find him unless I'm on the Threadloom Search page as well and use the filter as connerhills.

My recommendation would be to use the main search box, to wish you can filter down further by user.
