    Thumbs down Search not very effective

    I just tried searching for keywords "spx" and "ecotality", both separate and together and the search function finds no results. I KNOW there are posts with these phrases in them, so why is search not working?

    Try google site keyword like this:
    https://www.google.com/search?&q=sit...+spx+ecotality

    That's a nice workaround but the site search function ought to still function correctly. Look for spx yourself.

    I understand. Often short words are excluded from searches as noise words. I have never had much luck with built in searches for any of the forum I've been associated it. Hence the 'site:' keyword has been awesome over the years.
