    All I can say is wow.. having a slight issue with my QV after sitting for some months. Typed in a few keywords as I'm sure I'm not the first with this issue and it came back with every topic imaginable.. but not on the subject. Just a heads up! Might be best to type in every subject your NOT looking for and save you some time! Haha.

    Between The search function and my iPhone spellcheck, I might as well throw my hands up and walk away this morning. :)

    Here's a tip that might help - don't use the forum search, but use google and limit the search to ferrari chat.

    Say you want to find "AAV" results. In the forum search, you can't because "AAV" is apparently too short a phrase. So go to Google and type this:

    site:ferrarichat.com AAV

    Could be everyone out there knows this, but if not - cheers. :)

    I typed the words (oil cap) and this is what got
    "The search could not be completed because the search keywords were too short, too long, or too common."

    search function on ALL public forums is mediocre at best .. not only limited to ferrarichat

    Best way to search Ferrarichat,or any website for that matter, is with google. Type "ferrarichat" then your search terms. No website internal function is even close to goggles power. It's that good and it's kinda scary.

    This is a known problem and it's on the list to fix.

    Please check here for issue status and resolution.

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/running-bug-list.560062/

    Also, it's better to post feature questions and concerns here:

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/ferrarichat-com-update-questions.559196/

    Isolated threads in model forums may take much longer to get noticed or maybe never.

    'Click to expand...' is your friend.

    BTW, in case you didn't read this whole thread, a search on 250* gto works.
