Forums Search

Chuck Minton

I am having trouble with the search part of the forums.
For instance I am interested in seeing others wading's through I2C.
So, I search for I2C and I come up with nothing. Also in lower case.
Something needs improvement here. A general search should show up K's of strings on this subject I would imagine.

Does any one else find this problem or am I doing something wrong???

The search engine likes wild-cards. Try this: *i2c*

There is a limit of 4 characters minimum for searches, to prevent the search engine from tracking down things like "the", "and" and other "trivial" words.

Unfortunately, the number of TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) we deal with makes this a challange.

Adding a wild card (or two) is a decent work around in most cases.

I beleive (based on other threads in the support forum) that once some of the bigger migration issues are resolved, this may get revisited.

Yep, the 4-letter limit and common word filter is killing me. I'm trying to find some code to have the compiler size a res variable in PASM to fill all remaining space in the cog ram. I remember seeing the thread, but when I search for the words:

res fit 496 available buffer cog ram

guess how many words the engine uses...1.."buffer'. Apparently "available" is too common, and everything else too short. Grrr.
