Feedback Forum - Failure To Search Before Posting

I fixed it for him.

I searched 'arz' three times before starting a thread to give him feedback. If search function continues to say 'nothing found', new threads will continue to be started :)

I've had the same issue on occasion.

I think you can place an asterix onto the end of a short word as a place holder to get the search to work. The asterix tells the search to use any available character in place of the asterix to fill the spot.

Just tried that method to search for arz and it didn't work.

Ban all three character user names. Your fired.

I've felt this pain, but thanks to theGinsue's efforts with a name change I'm a searchable member.

In both instances, I searched via sorting by title, with no success. I was fairly sure I had previously left feedback for at least one of them, so I was perplexed..

Doesn't always work, and in fact, I have run into the same situation a couple times recently, and had to get creative to locate their threads.

Don't sort alphabetically by title after using the search feature, just go to the Feedback forum and do it there. Then it will list every single thread in alphabetical order, so you cannot possibly miss it.

See above: Forget about the search function for feedback - just sort the whole forum by title.
