Hi All,
Is anyone having difficulties using the search box for NZB's?
I have been trying to search for titles, where the search results state nothing found.
Trying different iterations\wildcards etc still yields 0 results.
E.g. Searching for Fringe - no results.
Whereas when going through the extensive listing, page by page, I was able to find the required file.
I have tried a couple of titles I know exist but again the same negative outcome.
Am I doing something wrong, as user error is the first point of direction in most cases.
Thanks

I have had the difficulties also. I even try to use a "*" for wild card also and my result are the same as yours. No complaining :whistling

The search engine in this place breaks frustratingly often. Here (http://filesharingtalk.com/threads/455127-Whats-up-with-the-search) are some alternatives.

No probs will try the following method as mentioned previously - site:filesharingtalk.com inurl:.com/nzbs/

quick & dirty way is - site:filesharingtalk.com/nzbs/ ??? where ??? = subject say UFC or gravity

site:filesharingtalk.com/nzbs/ ufc

site:filesharingtalk.com/nzbs/ gravity

so you could make

site:filesharingtalk.com/nzbs/ (https://www.google.co.uk/search?num=100&safe=off&q=site%3Afilesharingtalk.com%2Fnzbs%2F&oq=site%3Afilesharingtalk.com%2Fnzbs%2F)

a bookmark, then add your search query on the end

you could even start to get clever and omit what you don't want returned, such as

site:filesharingtalk.com/nzbs/ [prisoner] -potter

Where you want to watch The Prisoner, but don't want Harry Potter results shown, in the end it works better than the actual search function if you learn it.
