You get access to Full Search when you reach 100 pts and power must be 20.
You get access to Advanced Search when reach 200pts and power must be 30
For searching of post that does not exist, you need Full Admin Rights.

Sorry bro, was pulling your leg.

The search engine here is much more extensive than delphi. Go to advanced search and key in the attributes. Can search by post or thread. Try the thread first. One good things is to use the filter based on the number of replies.

Remember put it to 1 year back for the date (max) if not it it throw only a few. (maybe a bug)

nope, function is definitely impaired

you can try and see for yourself
 
Give me any keyword or words that you can recall about your post and I will try from my end.
 
Bro, without keywords, the search generated 500 posts by you and 158 threads started by you in one year. I think its all there.

If this is true, I'm going to quit the bloody forum.

Why are the new rules so stupid? DUH! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Everyone has full search functions.

If a post did not show up, it could be that the post was not properly indexed.

I will re-run the indexing function later and you can try again this afternoon.

Thanks Sam.

Could you also avail the old sammyboys in delphi? There are many past threads which contain useful materials which I would like to refer to.

Once more, Thanks bro

I am talking about the past threads that go back to a few years.

These are no longer accessible.

Is Sam Leong drunk? I went to the search function that day, and it popped up question asking me to key in the name of Ass Loong Son??????!!!! Disgusting! I gave up and did not use the search.

Other times, the search asked me to key in Alpha-Numerics, the only reason I can think off is Sam does not want search engine such as Google to craw here. Otherwise why waste our time?
