Seriously. Rendro desperately needs a better search engine. Let's say I want to find a certain product that is sold here. I type in it's name in the search engine. I either get a bunch of products that have "nothing" to do with what I am searching for or I get nothing at all.

For example. You try it. Go to the top left and type in " Nuria for V4 " or just "Nuria". Garrentee you won't find that product through the search engine. However, it is in the marketplace (I should know, I just finished looking at it).

Doesn't matter if I type in the EXACT same name of the product, still can't find it through the search engine. Doesn't matter what product it is, it's the same for every single one of them. The search engine really needs a desperate fix. I want to be able to FIND what I am looking for.

Uhh I went to marketplace search, typed in Nuria and it was the only result that came back.

Ahhhh. That explains why I can't find anything, cause I was using the one at the very top and to your right where it says, "Search Renderosity."

I tried what you did and it works. Still, that one I had been using needs fixing...IMO.

FrankT is correct. We have two different search engines on Rendo. A general site search for the community on the upper right of the site, and then the MP search engine just for the MP.

The general site search isn't for locating items in the MP..it can pull up 'general' items, but it wasn't designed for the MP. :)

you need to do something about the search on the forums.do a search on" V4 teeth moving"....relevancy is no where to be found...

The general site search doesn't work very well for me.  For example I can copy and paste a member's name from this thread and I'll not get him back as a result in the member list.

WARK!
