The search feature, I have no doubt, works fine - but if I get more than 100 results, it displays nothing. I realize the coders of this board are very busy, (was it Jeku who wrote Apollo?) but this limitation is annoying. Can it not just display the 100 closest matches instead?
Thanks.

Don't you mean if you get more that 100 results, it only shows 100 results?

Nope, he doesn't work for TGC. Rich wrote it.

At the moment it just says "More than 100 results".
I want it to give me some of them. It makes finding a thread stupidly difficult. If I want Box2D, and I search for Box2D, it gets the error message. I find it hard to believe that more than 100 relevant threads containing Box2D were found on the WIP board alone, myself. So yes, I would prefer that. The Google search is useless because not only does it not restrict itself to a single board, but it also finds every thread on the forum relevant.

Searching for 'Box2D' for me gives me 2 results on the entire forum, and 0 results for 'Box 2D'.

No, wait, it gives two contradicting error messages. Which is it? One's in bold and one's not. (Read the line above)

Even if that's not an error message, just a general comment, it's confusing.

It's just a general notice.

You're searching just the WIP board for threads with "Box2D" in, of which there are none. The only two are
in Program Announcements.

A bit weird how I read the bit that was not in bold instead of the bit in bold.

I've removed the notice if no results are returned in a specific board.
