|  Search Is there a way to add on some keyword flexibility in the search function? I've been trying to search on a flight school called Classic Aviation at KADS. Searching "Classic Aviation" (with quotes) gives me back over 250 results that have either or both terms - there isn't a way to specify "exact match" on the search terms. Or am I using improper syntax on the search? Thanks in advance. |

| Re: Search-Fu I noticed that too. I dislike the search function very much.

| Re: Search-Fu I only raise it as an issue because I think we might get fewer "repetitive" questions if we can actually use the search function effectively. There are a number of questions I'd like to ask, but I'd like to try searching for the answer, first. |

| Re: Search-Fu Read his first post. I agree with killbilly, it is so hard to use. Even searches for simple terms turn up "no results" when I can go into one of my previous posts and find that exact term. Makes no sense. For example, search for keyword "FSA" (with or without quotes). It returns no results, yet clearly it should return several in this thread alone: http://forums.jetcareers.com/showthread.php?t=40961 (ERAU or FSA?)

| Agent Smith  | Re: Search-Fu I could tinker with it a little behind the scenes. Just a sec... Ok, try it again and let me know if it's any better.

| Agent Smith | Re: Search-Fu Ooh, that sure isn't working correctly. Well, I'll add that to the 'to do' list.
