I did a search for "bag". I did it 3 ways:

1- clicked the search arrow
2- did an "advanced search" under "titles only"
3- did an "advanced search" under "all posts"

No matches were found.

Is there an issue with the search function? I can't imagine the word "bag" isn't in a couple dozen thread titles and probably in multiple dozens of threads in some way or another.....
 
I think it's possible that the search function ignores words that are only 3 letters long. I notice that a search on "LTM" similarly yields nothing.

Sometimes using Google is much easier. Just use site:rangefinderforum.com and then whatever keywords you want to use. If you have a search bar in your browser or the Google toolbar this is very easy.

Another search problem

Ever since the search started requiring guessing and typing funky looking letters/numbers, I have not been able to execute a single search because the search application reports that I mis-typed those letters. Now, I am not blind, my monitor is fairly well calibrated. I my opinion, the bitmaps showing the letters are some of the hardest to read I have ever seen OR the letters simply do not correspond to what the application thinks they are. In any case, for me, the search facility went from barely usable before to completely unusable now.
