Gotcha. Like Mark, I try to use just one keyword and that seems to help quite a lot.]]> Sun, 18 Sep 2016 03:53:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46285&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46285 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46283&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46283 Author: MMathews

Yeah I discovered the case thing a few years ago so I do
all my searches in lower case, and I've found that the
fewer words the better. I've had times where I entered a
titles exactly as they appear in the thread title and no
result, but if I put one word in, what i wanted will be in
among the other results. ]]> Sat, 17 Sep 2016 20:57:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46283&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46283 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46281&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46281 Author: davidclark

No, the problem is not on my end. When I search for owens (all lower-
case) under topic, I also get a hit for the old thread. I also get a hit when I
search for Owens and any combination of upper/lower case in a one-
word search for that matter. But no hit for Donnie Owens nor
donnie owens. Problem seems to be a combination of when more than

Actually, I searched for owens (all lower-case) under topic only and it came up right away. Perhaps the problem is on your end? Anyway, I often find it helpful to search for certain key words as sometimes a title or artist name can have a typo or punctuation that throws off a search.]]> Fri, 16 Sep 2016 04:12:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46273&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46273 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46271&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46271 Author: Yah Shure

I've sometimes found that dashes can throw off topic searches when the song title is immediately followed by a dash (with no space separating them.) Search for the title without the dash and sometimes it won't find it.]]> Thu, 15 Sep 2016 21:27:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46271&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46271 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46269&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46269 Author: aaronk

Well, this forum software is quite old (2003/04?), and I'm guessing it's
just a pre-made package that Pat purchased and installed on the web
server. Any functionality and features (or lack of) would've come from
the software developer who made it, just like any program or
application you buy for a computer. It might be worth him checking to
see if there are any updates that could be installed to improve the
search function. ]]> Thu, 15 Sep 2016 19:14:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46269&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46269 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46268&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46268 Author: davidclark

David, I believe you started a topic on this already. I'll bump it up for you.]]> Thu, 15 Sep 2016 04:24:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46263&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46263 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46262&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46262 Author: davidclark

Couldn't find a thread on this one (surprisingly)...

Has anyone come across either of the two 45 versions? It's a top 40 song I
have that I am still missing a correct version in my collection.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 2016 21:26:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8623&PID=46262&title=donnie-owens-need-you#46262
