maxro 7 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Dear Forum, I've noticed I have difficulties with finding things on this forum using the search bar at the top right. Even tough I am certain that the file is somewhere, I just can't find it. I have to go the directories of this file. For example, a livery.

Emi 5161 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hi, could you tell me an example of what you are looking for and how you search for it? If I want to find for example an airberlin A320 I enter the search, type "A320 airberlin" and select the option to search in files. And I immediately get the results I'm looking for: Please login to display this image. If you are looking for files in particular (instead of posts) try to always select "files" in the search options instead of posts: Please login to display this image. I hope this helps!

maxro 7 Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hi, Thanks for the answer. For the example, I looked for egcc (Username) and his gsx.cfg files for the pro buses. http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/files/file/4896-gsxcfg-for-aerosoft-a321-cfm-professional/ is the one I looked for. I simply type the searched term. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted September 16, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted September 16, 2018 The problem here is, that the forum for performance reasons do not execute searchs for 3 character words. Your search phrase will not be read as one 7 character long word, but the "." in between separates the two parts from each other, so it will be read as two 3 character long words. This behaviour unfortunately can't be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 On top of what Tom said already, I think another problem here might be that the forum can presently not search for usernames very well. We'll investigate if there is something we can do about that as the three character limit unfortunately can not be changed in the software we use for our forums. Thank you for your report!

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted September 17, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted September 17, 2018 It seems the forum is too large (it really is pretty massive). I am cleaning it out this week and hope things will be better then. We do know it's not working as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted September 18, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted September 18, 2018 I did a rebuild of the search index and it seems to be marginally better. But still it is weird that Google indexes out forum better then the forum software does. If you need to search right now I suggest Google and search in this format: "Aerosoft forum A350" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
