Using Search facility

[Martin]

Re: Using Search facility

I’ve just realised another regular anomaly that causes the search facility to fail to spot a thread. When folks have the good sense to post the appliance model number but yet leave a space between the characters (e.g. ZWF 14581 W instead of ZWF14581W). The search tool has no facility to bridge the blank space and therefore that specific search would fail. But, all would not be lost by more adept at using the search facility by searching first thru ZWF (44 matches) or for 14581 (just 1 match).

It’s all there but a bu&&ers own job to find ’em. 😈

Re: Using Search facility

I’m hoping I’m not preaching to the choir here.

The best way to search IMO is using the asterisk character. Using asterisk would help with Martins issue for ZWF machines. The asterisk is a wildcard character, like the question mark character and others.

I’ve just posted a question regarding a WF541 machine. Searching for WF541 returns 37 results, but it’s too wide. Searching for “WF541 f01” Only returned 1 result using the second radio button.

I found much more help using “wf* f01” and the second radio button.

Maybe, the second radio button should be the default, then we wouldn’t need to use regular expressions like: AND, OR.
