Hi Sony,
General info on searching with Simply's engine...

try this... open the search screen, type in the word you are interested, and the user name if you know it, if not select "any user"
check off all the boxes, and check off both the subject and message fields

In the ages since last post section, fill in all the boxes with 0, except the last "max age since last post" here set the days to some number of interest . The site is less than a year old, so you are safe with under 400 days.

tell it how many results to display. I usually select all.

let me know if that helps.

You have to type a word (like discus or the) into the "Search For" bar (above the "by user" bar)
