Does anyone else hate the search function on this forum?
I have been trying for ages to couch a search phrase or a group of words on this forum to see if anyone has addressed an issue before. Either I get nothing or it tells me the words being used are too common. Grrrrrr!!!!

Try using google instead:
Enter your search parameters followed by site:forums.madcapsoftware.com
Works for all domains, often much quicker than the domain's own search engine.
