  3. Seeing this post I have tried some searches and repeats. First attempt - results very poor. Second attempt (at searching for exactly the same word) - results much better. Weird, but at least now I know how to do it.
     
  4. THanks Pete.

    Have been working at this, I think now it should work better. Let me know?

    Cheers,
    Rob.

  6. I may have had a "fuzzy logic lightbulb moment"* in relation to this topic.
    It's possible that the inability of the Search engine to perform "properly" or let's say as well as we've come to expect from most search engines, is simply down to a deeply imbedded software programming glitch.
    The reasoning behind this only just came to me because of two similarities*:-

    1/ Upon starting a new thread, when you go to compile the title, including capital letters, upon entry the program randomly decides whether to appoint the capitals you have chosen (or not). Repeated attempts at correcting this sometimes work, but mainly do not.
    2/ When using the search engine "search titles only" - it can be infuriatingly frustrating to find that the program fails to find a simple set of words despite their specificity particularly if corresponding capitals used. By repeating the search without the capital letters (despite the knowledge that these were used in the title you are searching for), often miraculously then works!

    It's possibly that, imbedded in a program somewhere, the logic applied to letter identity defining has "gone rogue" and just throws up a "no value found" response, particularly linked to Capital letter/Standard letter.


    This has been a TMTOMH posting.

  7. I've found it better sometimes to Google the issue and it will mostly flag up this forum in the results.
     
  8. yes, Good Advice - i'm on here advising people to do the very same, and have myself for possibly over a decade, but was looking at a (possible) solution here. :upyeah:

  9. Quite a lot of folk don't realise that advanced Google search with boolean operators is possible directly into the search bar.

    Eg: site:ducatiforum.co.uk crankcase issues

    Just keep the word spacing as this example as spaces throw up errors. :upyeah:
