When I use the search function, I get zippo.

Is there a better webaddress link to make searches?

And I have to tell you I hate this captcha thing

I mean the first post of the day its ok, but then for every single post., cmon.

Hi Sue, thanks for your comment!

Are you referring to the search function in the community or on the site? It seems to be working fine for us...

With regards to the captcha, we agree it is unwieldy, but recently we've had a lot of issues with spammers and that is the only way we have at the moment to ensure hundreds of spam posts are not uploaded.

We are still trying to find a way to block spam but not have the captcha, if possible.

Please let us know about the search function,

thanks! The Expatica Team

Sorry, it gives results for published articles. Isn't there a way to find previous forum posts by keywords? cheers

You can use Google:

"insert search words" followed by site:community.expatica.com/forums

The forum makes that clickable, but it's not supposed to be like that.

Hi Sue, thanks for your comment!

Not sure how smart it is to use forum members' real names in posts, admin.
