One member requested the location of a post regarding handwheel (crank) repair. specifically one by Jim Frye using lead shot with epoxy to fill the handle.
It took me like five tries to find it
I finally found this just looking at all posts by Jim Frye (fortunatley he only made 40 posts) dated Dec 2005
Among tries that did not work:
terms "lead shot epoxy" and author Jim Frye
terms "lead shot epoxy"
terms "lead shot"
all three of those should have worked looking at the actual text in the post.
Why didn't they?
I have done some searches with specific terms that would have been in the post and not located it. This is a specific example where I did find it but search tems that should have worked did not. all other criteria in advanced search wide opn (any date, any forum , etc.)
What's wrong with vBulletin search?
