How to use search function ? - Canadian - Feb 2, 2018

I know this seems extremely stupid, but I'm having a hard time using it. I am looking for .edu email threads, and I managed to locate 2 without the help of the search function that are recent, but when I search to find more, it only gives me threads from 2009-2015, I'm not sure why. A search function for dummy guide would be extremely useful.

How'd you do that ? That's not what comes up for me

I believe that is because you added the period when searching. Try it without and you should get the same results.
MyBB doesn't register the . in URLs or searches I believe (I could be wrong).

Oh! It seems a lot more searches came up when I did that. That's an interesting finding

Search ALSO requires a minimum char input, my guess is you were not meeting the correct input, or terms, thus not getting the results you wanted. 🤝

Thank you very much guys. I have been using it to get to the threads I need.
