    Search function

    I've tried the Search function a few times with limited success. The threads that result are usually off topic and more often than not the result is "Sorry, no matches". Some helpful hints would be much appreciated. Say one wanted to read all discussions about Management Unit 7-08 for example, what should be entered in the seach box? Just 7-08 yields no matches. Thanks.

    Try the "bugs and glitches" area.

    I often google "huntingbc ____________"and whatever topic your lookin for. Works for me far better than the sights search function.
    But then what do I know? I'm just a lowly woodcutter.

    Go advanced search and read all the settings carefully. For instance if you don't reset the length of time to go back its only a few weeks or something. Other than that search engines suck on most forums and internet sites IMO. Google is the best as said.

    Re: Search function

    Like Salty mentioned, adjust the advanced settings. You might only be searching the titles of threads as opposed to the content. You will have to try different search words on your particular subject. Region 7 Moose instead of 7-08 etc.

    Hope that helps.
