So I know I made a post a few days ago and I know I used the word "SMART". So I did what I always do.
(I recommend you do this in a separate window so you can see for yourself!)
So I clicked the "Advanced Search" in the upper right corner.
For search types I checked "All Types"(wanted to cover all of the bases).
For keywords I entered "SMART" without the quotes.
I know it was my post so I typed in for username "noobsauce80" without the quotes.
Clicked search.
Ok, I get 5 threads as results. NONE from 2013. I was willing to bet mega bucks I had made the post this year, and certainly since last Wednesday. So I did more hunting and found my post in this thread:
http://forums.freenas.org/showthrea...atus-state-quot-online-quot-when-disk-failed-!
Gee, post #2 has my exact word with the exact same capitalization but it doesn't show up in searches.
So what is going on? I watch plenty of people fail to use the search(either correctly or laziness.. not sure which) but now I'm really starting to question if my time here is well spent if people can't even search for their answers using the forum's search feature.
Please, someone fix this and post back that this is fixed. If I'm really going to be trying to help people in a forum and they can't even search I think it'll be time for me to move on. If there's one thing that a good forum MUST have, it MUST have a good search feature.
Maybe this explains why alot of us are getting tired of answering the same questions day after day. Nobody can actually find stuff even if they try....
