I have tried many permutations
Like seach for "VCF"
and user "RobinL"
in the last 180 days and newer
in the the Visual Chartform forum
and many other cases to always get no results.
Clearly something is wrong with the board's search function.
Search always failing

I agree the Search function does not seem to be working properly, and has not for some time. I was able to find Robin's posts only by using the Simple Mode in Search: Search > More Search Options > Simple Mode (at bottom of the screen): Enter VCF Robin, and select the Visual Chartform forum.

I searched for "PDF" and got no results. Is the search function broken again?

It doesn't seem to work for three-letter searches. For some reason, strings must be 4 characters or longer.
