    Howdy folks, recently discovered this excellent forum while digging for information about my collection of CF-73's. Problem is that when I enter CF-73 into the search feature, it returns no results.... Same for CF-29, CF-52 etc, etc, Any idea how to whittle down to just the threads about a particular model?


    I'll save the touchscreen questions until after I find the touchscreen threads :D

    I'm sure most of us belong to some other forums. One of those I follow daily pertains to IT security, encryption and the Ironkey secure USB device and appears to use the same software we do here. However, their search function actually works. I wonder why one implementation of the software has search and ours doesn't? If it wasn't for Azrial's much-appreciated work-around, we'd really be crippled.

    At one time the search function here worked great but they did some big upgrade on the site last year and since then its not much good as you found out.

    Thanks guys, it also works well for things that you can't, or shouldn't find... I have used to to find hidden .jpg and .pdf in some cases that I needed for evidence that were unlinked, or linked behind a password.
