"your search words are too common"

Post by mattthemuppet »

I'm trying to search for Epic Eldar models and only ever get back the "your search words are too common" even when I limit my search to the for sale forum. The only way to get a hit is to put in "armageddon" which also brings up a load of 40k stuff and misses all the epic eldar posts without it (mine included). What's the point having a search function if it doesn't search? Case in point, I found a post from someone after Epic Eldar jetbikes only by using Google - I would never have found it otherwise as it was buried in the 40k for sale forum. I know it's free to use this site and I appreciate it greatly, it's just making it frustrating to the point of uselessness :(
any ideas?
ta!

Try putting a wildcard(*) in front of "eldar". Or any words for that matter.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.
