The search could not be completed because the search keywords were too short, too long, or too common.

Would like to know why the search feature on this forum does not work?

Every search I do comes back with the above excuse for not working.

The search feature isn't that great TBH. Even the forum admins admit that. Anything less than 4 characters and it will give an answer the same as the title of your thread.

Try using a Google search with the following format: -

(Search term or terms) site:https://heavyequipmentforums.com/

The search term does not need to be put in brackets. I just did that to show you where it goes in the text string.
You can search for multiple items using the + character and also search for specific alphanumeric terms by using inverted commas " before and after the term you want to search for.

Thanks this information is disappointing for a forum this large. I avoid google at all costs.

Considering what the forum costs you, for access to the wealth of information here, using Google as your search engine is a minor inconvenience.

I have also found that words that would be very common on a site like this such as "Case" or "Cat" will return that result. Try adding more words to the search bar. "Case 580 Super M hydraulic pressure" instead of "Case + hydraulic"

If I could like this post more than once I would….

As has been said previously the advice given out on this forum is worth exactly what you have to pay for it.

For sure googling something can give a link to a thread or post on this forum.
