On my Android phone using Chrome it doesn't work at all. I click on "Search", my keyboard pops up and before I can start typing the search bar vanishes.

1. Newbie uses search function and comments.
2. Some self righteous *** makes the comment 'way to resurrect a 10 year old thread'!

There is little doubt that virtually every scenario has been discussed in this forum in one post or another. I don't see the need to snark down a newbie who just signs up because he has a problem with his oil pressure gauge. I think we can all be honest and say the 'search function' on the forum is fair at best anyway.

Happy Friday
O.K., so now I'm starting to see the righteous ***'s point of view. Seems like every day there are multiple posts about the same problems, which even the slightest google search would have pointed out the path, if not the outright answer. Most seem to be A/C related, so probably because the weather is warming up.
Seriously, how hard is it to figure out that if the A/C mode switch isn't having an effect, your vacuum line is broken or missing. Passenger side is hot while driver is cold? Blend door actuator. A/C won't engage, or light flashes and then goes out? You can invest in gages, etc., to troubleshoot, but any A/C shop will check the system for a very nominal fee.
