Search Question
 

Not sure if this is the right place to ask - but.....

How can one search the forums with only three charactors - i.e 129 or 149, etc.

When I try, I get the following:

The following errors occurred with your search:
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : 129

Question is - am I doing something wrong, is this type of search not possible or is there a work around?

Thanks!!!!!!

It's probably going to pick up signatures, it depends on the algorithm used (I haven't ran vbulletin for years, someone else may know). I would try something like 'cub 129' or 'cub 149' or 'cadet 129'. The search itself is spitting back saying there isn't enough to go off with 'cub 129' meaning there's probably too many hits in the search for it to be viable.

EDIT: Weird, I tested 'cub 129' and it worked, but then I just tested it again and it doesn't. 'cub 1250' works fine, as does 1450. Out of curiosity is there something specific you are searching for?

I have a 109 and just purchased a 126. Sometimes I just like to search on those "three" numbers. Many times a post will read CC 109 or cub 109 or cubcadet 109, etc. If I could search for the "three" digits, like 109 or 126, I think it would make for some interesting reading. I can do this over at the IHcubcadet forum, but not here. In no way is that a slam on this website, it is just a nice feature and it would be cool to do it here - and maybe you can and I just don't know how.

Thanks!!!!!!!

The 'search' function here is pretty clunky...it will remove words that it thinks are too short from your search. I had one heck of a time looking for the NGK glow plug number for the Kubota engines once because it thought I didn't want to search for 'NGK'...

Go to Google.com (only works on google) and type in:

site:Onlycubcadets.net 109

it will bring up a google search of 109 documents from occ.net

THAT worked like a champ!

Thanks,
