can some1 teach me how to use search (no joke)

the search engine on this site is awful, why cant it be like a normal one? .. k, how do i do a search for a track?

I tried just typin the artist and track in, but it does a search for any thread that contains, somewhere in it those words...

k, so i've tied using the 'AND' function ie:

angel AND nu-nrg

also tried

angelANDnu-nrg

again, the same happens. tried using speachmarks like normal searches use.. wtf is going on? yes - i know, i prolly suck, but cant see how u can have a go at n00bs for not being able to use the search option

I think the search engine must use - as a space, try nunrg AND angel

I'm having problems with the search engine as well
I can never get it to work for me. meaning that, when I search for something that I know that is on the forums , I can't find it. Like some certain thread e.t.c.

Choose "Search titles only" instead of "Search entire posts", that should do the trick

i dont know this help

when you do search, the word has to be at least 4 alphabets or more!!!

for example, when you search for paul van dyk--nothing but you

you can only type in search paul nothing

if nothing comes up... then you might have to be a little creative with your search... like paul nothing latest single

good luck!!
