Help? - AntsCanada forum SEARCH FUNCTION

Is the AntsCanada forum search function broken or something?? Everytime I attempt to use the search option, it tells me that I cannot search for the chosen word/words because they aren't specific enough or some ****...

Really? I can't search for "Formica"? I can't search for "Ohio"?...

What is this lol?

Please read the instructions on the search page. By simply putting a * in front of the word your looking for will report ton's of results. I just did *Formica and it came back with 29 results, and by putting *Formica* it came back with 237 results. The * is called a wildcard.

Search for keywords:
Place + in front of a word which must be found and - in front of a word which must not be found. Put a list of words separated by | into brackets if only one of the words must be found. Use * as a wildcard for partial matches.

Search for author:
Use * as a wildcard for partial matches.


So the seach function of the AC forums are working just fine.
