I’m guessing that the search feature does not function on mobile devices.

Not sure if it's an ipad/mobile limitation but I can offer you a solid work around---Go to google and use the site specific search along with the thing you're looking for -- example, if I want to see the info on "embed youtube" at google you enter this:
site:914world.com embed youtube or for info on a "sticky door latch": site:914world.com sticky door latch Super useful and sometimes better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Yeah but the search built into the site is ancient and not efficient.

I just realized that my search function is not working either.
I do usually search google but not if it's a thread I've started and know 'catch terms' that should work with the site's search function (as it always has). For instance: I searched titles only for the following "+Another +help" without the quotes, and also using my username in the correct field - and got nothing. I actually recall it on something else a couple weeks back too, but found it using the longer method via google. Not complaining.. no big deal of course, just mentioning it as it's not an isolated instance. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Yeah, that worked for me too (tried after you mentioned it).. So, I went back and just searched for my thread using "Another" .. nothing. Then tried again using "Thread" as my key word - and it pulled up! That's certainly weird (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
