etu Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Anyone have this problem? When I search the forums for a topic (for example 'replacing awning') I get a few posts. Then I click on one to read it and when finished i want to go back to the list of the posts I just found. Instead when i hit the back button I get a page that says my search words were less than 3 characters?? And I have to search all over to get the same list again. If i do it too quickly it says flood control is in place and i have to wait to search again. I just want to read each post initially found What am I doing wrong?

MrSeas Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Sometimes if you use a search engine outside of the forum it seems to be more user friendly. It's worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat & Pete Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 You might try right clicking on the link to the post you want to read , then click 'open link in new tab' . That would save the search result page , so when you close the tab you've just read , the search result would be left . Goes around , comes around .

skp51443 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 What really works well for me is to use Google to search the forums, it seems to do a lot better job than the forum search tool. Just put in your search like you normally would but then add the site option to restrict the Google results to ones from here. site:rvnetwork.com "replacing awning" gets you this: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#safe=off&q=site:rvnetwork.com+%27replacing+awning%27 First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day. Sell a customer a Windows computer and you'll eat for a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
