Was trying to find a post on importing mcidas-x enhancements into -V and searched for "mcidas-x enhancement" and the forums told me:
"No posts were found because the word mcidas-x is not contained in any post."
Which we know is not true. (See: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=168)

Forums Search needs help
Re: Forums Search needs help
Hi Mat,
I know that the search is not the greatest. We're pretty much limited to what phpBB offers. The problem with ''mcidas-x'' is that it ignores the dash.

Hi Becky!
I never thought about it being confused by the hyphen! Lots of people complain about it on their forums. It looks like a newer version of phpBB *might* have a search that works better:
https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... &t=2167421
I'm not positive though... not sure what version we're on here, but the copyright at the bottom of the screen has a most recent date of 2007. There have been enough complaints that hopefully they've fixed it or will soon! I don't know what would be involved for an upgrade to a newer version of course! (Maybe not worth much trouble, but worth it if it's easy?)
Thanks,
Mat
