I was just trying to find out which track an old update I found in my download folder is for (duchoriz+200mt.zip, containing only horiz.3do, I think it was for Spa). However, I couldn't get the search function here to search for two keywords at the same time. No matter whether I tried "horizon ducwolf", "horizon+ducwolf" or "horizon AND ducwolf", it always seemed to return all posts in which one or the other occurred. In the latter case, "and" was even used as a third keyword... What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your efforts!

Two things occurred to me in the meantime: On the one hand, I didn't see that the search results weren't sorted by relevance, but by last post date. On the other hand, I assume that this file was originally posted at RSC and there may not be any posts including both of my keywords at SRMZ! In this case, using either of them instead of returning "no matches found" isn't wrong in any way.

So in conclusion, everything seems to be alright. I promise not to search for anything that isn't actually there from now on! :wave:

I have had this problem since the last rebuild (update :idunno: ) earlier this year, too many results to search through and in post order but I ended up reading a lot of stuff I had never seen before, not a bad thing. My cure is to have a scotch, be patient and be thankful that SRMZ is here after the recent scares we had with this site and GPL Rank. Thanks to Bill, Keith and whoever else maintains this site :hat-tip: , if the search engine improves, excellent, if it doesn't, not really a big problem  :thumbup:

Hi Florian,

if you're still wondering about that update: can't check right now but IIRC it happens to be Svend's Spa horizon being adapted for use at our good old Nurburgring.

Greetings,

Gordon

Yes, I am still wondering. :) I absolutely don't remember such an update, but it would make a lot of sense. So I assume you're right. :thumbup:
