Search problems.....

[C Andrew Green]

Hi all,

I hope I'm not being thick, but search doesn't appear to be working for me?

I'm new(ish) to owning a Lexus but reasonably happy with how forums (fora?) work on other subjects.

If I type in 'Key' or 'key fob' (I'm looking for smart key info, my IS250 only came with one) I get zero search results? But just by looking around I found at least one topic with 'Key' in the title.

BTW I've tried standard and advanced search.

Hoping I'm not going to look silly!

I just tried some very common terms in both search options with no success at all. Each time 0 results returned. Even when  using the suggested terms, nothing..

Thanks Nemesis,

At least it confirms that it's not me!

Hopefully an Admin will see this and take a look at the problem.

Thanks again.

Have sent a report off. Hopefully it will come back to normal fairly quickly. Mike.

I accidentally found a workround, while googling similar searches LOC came up in the results with the option to show more results from LOC!

Which then uses a google search of the site.....

unfortunately you must search 4 letters or more. It's pants that it does not tell you this.

When going to the search box select google from the drop down left of the search box. That will work better for you.

Thanks Steve, the Google option works well

Haha! It would have been nice if the forum software told you about the minimum four letter search wouldn't it?

I'm cool with using Google....

Thanks all,

Andrew

Use the following line in your google search engine, this will search LOC for what you want. It works with other sites.

site:lexusownersclub.co.uk your search criteria

i.e. site:lexusownersclub.co.uk key fob
