Using the 'Search' function

[Newportnobby]

Not being able to recall where the postings were for the Revolution Class B tanks, I typed 'Class B' into the search tool to be met with "Each word must be at least two characters long".
How can you make the 'B' in 'Class B' to be long enough please?

[Bealman]

Easy. Class Bogon. (An Aussie term for a, well, bogon).

I don't get the error message if I put "class B" in inverted commas. But the search function seems to be ignoring the B part.

I'm glad it's not just me.

I was looking for info on "Black 5", and had a similarly useful response. Not being a railway "anorak" (forgive my terminology, it's meant in a respectful way!), I was at a bit of a loss to know how to search any better.

I can only assume the search algorithm/program was not written by a railway buff.

Yes, that's the way the search function works, can you imagine trying to run a search and it returns every number "5" or every letter "B" it would crash the forum (or any forum for that matter!!)

I guessed that might be the answer and, to a certain extent, was only joshing seeing as you have had such a hectic weekend sitting playing trains on Tormouth

It should still work if you put "class B" but the phrase has to be the same case/spelling as the text in the thread.

I never use inbuilt website search facilities where I can help it, as they're usually woeful. Go to Google and just add site:ngaugeforum.co.uk somewhere in the search.
