    So, I've been trying to make an index of all the game guides written here on Neofriends.net, but I was using the "search" feature (because it would take forever otherwise). Anyways, I began to notice that it was not picking up all the guides that were written on this topic. Not even with broad terms and searching in the text [of the post]. I was just wondering if there's something wrong with the search or me ;) .

    Something wrong with you :)

    nah the search feature on forums are always crap :p

    Don't fret, we'll sort it one day (Probably the same day we determine how long a piece of strong is)

    Using the search tool would probably be harder.

    Just go through the neopets guides, information, and then other guides in all the pages and take the guides from there...be sure to check tech and graphics too.

    It never gets all the guides that I'm looking for...I always find another one that has a keyword that never made the search.

    Maybe your just weird ;) :arf: :lol: jk

    I was just about to make a topic like this. x3

    It's not working at all for me. it keeps coming up with random links and error messages all over the page when I try to search for anything.

    I've gotten a few random error messages, but it hasn't been in a while. Is it your internet is a bit slower because forum searches usually are like...shit with slow internet. Lolz :D :p :lol:
