Is it broken? I'm trying to find the post that linked to the military's comparison test of water filters and it comes up "no results" even on a general inquiry like "water filters".

I have the same problem. If you put an * in front of your search term, it should work. A search for "water filters" should but entered as: "*water filters" (without the quotations of course).

Happy hunting!!

Are you resetting the date range to "years?" The default is for threads within one week. I just tried a search for "water filter," with the date range set to the max of three years and got eight pages of result.

Gents, thanx for the attempted help. I've followed your advice, but= no go. Same negative result. Moderators, any sage advice to offer?
