Just basic search no specifics and also trying certain forums, comes back with No results when I can use the Google search and it comes up with something. BTW I am on a Mac using Safari.

3 letter words?

hi,

guys sorry but the JFK, NRT etc. 3 letter search is the most important one on FT.

i did search in the MR forum for NRT , but no hits.

with google can we search a specific forum only?

This does not always give only the results from a particular forum, but it should work most of the time, with the google search enter the search term and then the name of the forum you are looking for so in the case NRT Mileage Run and that will give you some good results.

Tim, I gotta agree with derpelikan (and others)... using the native (non-Google) search for three-character airport codes is fundamental to FT usage...

Will we ever be able to bring back this capability?

any chance to fix the 'bolding' issue? This really makes things difficult.

I have tried to search in the Marriott forum for LAX and Los Angeles - neither term found anything.

Is the search function broken?

Currently FT search doesnt handle 3 letter words. Angeles should work (I have used that updating Hilton hotel master thread).

Just did a search for angeles on the entire site as well as in the Marriot forum without any issues. Try logging out an back in, see if that solves the issue.
