Default Problem with the advanced search.....?

Hey everybody.. I can't seem to get any results for the advanced search. Anyone know what's going on or having similar issues? Thanks...

Can you be more specific about what you're doing? It's been working okay for me. Minimum of 3 characters in the search.

You got this menu page, then you put what in all the empty spaces?

Date, etc. And what forum(s) to search? There's not a C5 forum. It's got to be C5 General or C5 Tech, etc.

First pic is Advanced Search Page.

Second pic is what I got when I put tiger shark in double quotes, threads for the last week, and search C5 General.

Did your advance Search Page look something like mine?

Are you putting tiger shark or 402 in quotes (i.e., "tiger shark or 402")?

As long as "Also search in child forums" is selected, which it is by default, you can select "C5 Corvettes, 1997 - 2004" and it will search all forums under that section without having to select General or Tech.

Maybe something changed from a year ago or so.. I used to just put in words like... Tiger shark. With nothing around it and everything posted from that day back to as far as they keep record on the forum it seemed.... I didn't ever enter dates and all now... I hope that isn't necessary now as we are creatures of change and hearing that makes me whiny.. lol... Thanks for your help...
