Hi,
Are there still issues with searching this forum with search terms less than 3 characters as existed before?
I have tried doing the following search in the advanced search:
8GB SD
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
I have a hard time believing that is the case.
This isnt the first time the search is making life difficult. Is there also a way of defaulting the search to ALL TERMS?
thanks
I find searching using Google advanced search is the best way to find info on this forum.
Just type in what you're looking for in the advanced search page and get it to look in this forum.
Hope you understand how I've worded it. Its not as difficult as I make it appear.
Hope this is of use.
To tell you the truth... the whole search function leaves a lot to be desired.
The stalwarts of this forum are constantly critesizing the newbies for not using the search function but the hits it returns are as good as useless. I try repeated variations of my searches and cannot find a single relevant post within the first 20.
Maybe moderators should mention the Goolge option as bieng the best way to find info.
Thanks for your confirmation guys... I was hoping the answer wasn't going to involve google search and that the internal search mechanism would be better.
Cheers!

I believe this is not a "fast reply" forum... you need to take time to read and find yourself most off the time, allowing the site growing up...

i know, only was giving general recommendation for all who read this thread... I have been tempted many times to ask before search, but time has show me is better search first...perhaps this helps someone.
Regards.
Would the plug-in for other models would work on Trinity?
yes and there are numerous threads in this forum about it already
Please please please please please look before posting new questions.
Our forum is becoming less and less useable - with multiple threads for each topic of discussion.
If you look, search (the site's search feature is not great - do an advanced google search and include only posts from http://forum.xda-developers.com) you WILL find what you want.

But I think it will be less useable too, because there isn't a verified download section for each device.
You mess up your device in no time if you just try what you find.
Anyway, I searched and I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107&highlight=kaiser+home
Hopefully the thread starter will do it the next time too.
I think it would have been more helpful giving a simple direct answer to the first question than wasting more space giving generic advice about search engines. I don't think any of the responses added anything to the knowledge base (just like this email I guess).
I have to say that people reapeat questions, but, I have never seen a more complicated forum to search something and things are very bad organized. The function 'search' DOES NOT WORK.

Everyone agrees with you that why Nealedsaid to use google search, like this:
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
Or like it is in my signature.
Just add as a favorite or bookmark (depend on the browser )
Very simple and it works.
just an FYI.
Searching within any XDA phone model forum area is broken using the "Search this forum" button.
Error:
Search is unavilable. Please use the search box on the main forum page
Hope this will get fixed soon.. Really need that search thingy !
NetOps is aware and is working on fixing the search. Your Patience is Appreciated.
UPDATE: This should now be working.
Hey guys !!
I'm planning on buying a Xperia SP (can get it at a good price).
What device is it related to for ROM development ?
Is there a dedicated section here for this phone ? (i couldn't find it though...)
Does any of you know ?
Thanx !!

Search functions exist for a reason here. Especially the "Type To Find Your Device..." function next to Search one.
Don't you ever miss something in your life ?
Thanks for pointing me the search function, i've been using forums for AGES without knowing that function existed...JK of course...
Btw, i typed Xperia SP in the search box, found a ton of links to the Xperia S section, found a link to the Xperia SP wiki, and totally missed the Xperia SP dedicated forum.
So i scrolled the entire first page, and couldn't find the dedicated forum too.
And finally landed here to ask some help.
Wouldn't have opened a new thread if i had found it by myself...
