Hi all!

I'm new here, having discovered these forums only a week ago, and I was planning to spend a LOT more time lurking before I posted, but I've got a question that won't wait.

Is there something I don't understand about the search function? I can't seem to get it to work. I've plugged "cat" (I have one to consider) and even "FAK" into both the quick search and the advanced (set to all forums, 1 year), but I get no hits. Even when I'm LOOKING at a post with "FAK" in it.

Is it broken or something? If not, I'll continue to pursue it from my end.

Thanks!

PS: I figured out SAK pretty quickly, but for some reason it took me a long time to figure out "FAK". Is there a list of abbreviations/acronyms for us newbies?

Welcome.

For search, use advanced & set the date range. The default for advanced is a week or less. I'm guessing the simpler one is the same.

Welcome and sit by the fire we have a good bunch here.

Welcome to the fire newguy! You need to put at least four letters/symbols in the search box for it to function. Try searching FAK*, that'll swamp you with results.

That was it.

Thank you!!

Welcome

Welcome to the forums. Not long ago I was the newest member.

Thanks for the welcomes, all!

I've already learned a couple of interesting things here:

I was already carrying the most essential items of a personal survival kit daily: locking pocket knife, multi-tool, lighter and cell phone.

and

Don't buy any more of those 2.5G "milk carton" plastic jugs of water for long-term storage. I'll decant the one I already have into another container as soon as I have one.

I'll be asking lots of questions, since I've already de-lurked.

Seeya!

Howdy to you too.
