I'm trying to search, whatever I search for nets no results. I've tried searching the root for things like "4.1.7", "Thank", "Users Online", anything I search for gives me no results.

Can somebody point me to the right direction? Am I doing something wrong here? How am I supposed to search for stuff in a database with millions of things.

Would kindly appreciate the assistance.

I'm talking about the search on this site, vBulletin.org, I can't get any results.

The question still remains, what are you searching for ?

I'm searching for the following:

- A Thank You mod.
- All 4.1.7 styles (I want to filter only 4.1.7 versions)
- Chat/Shoutbox mod
- A few other things that I can't think of right now.

I do hear you on the google thing. I have been using that method to get some of the things. I was just wondering if I was doing something wrong when searching using vBulletin's search feature.

Thanks for all your suggestions and help.

I don't think you can filter the styles by version. I could be wrong. However, for those mods, try this, at the top search for

1. thank* - 4.X Mods - Titles Only
2. chat* shout* - 4.X Mods - Titles Only

Edit: You may also use "4.X Mods - All Posts" instead of titles, which would probably provide more results, but also, of course, some irrelevant results :)

HMBeaty, thank you very much for that suggestion. That is actually very helpful and is around what I was looking for as an answer to my original question.

Much appreciated!
