Are you getting an error? Unable to locate what you're looking for? Page loading slow? Searching within a forum, if so what forum? General search from next to the quick links?

I was going to post the same thing. Search function returns no queries every time.

For example, if I search for 'Oil in coolant' in the stock problems forum, I get:
'Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : in'


I'msure this worked a while ago. I even tried 'oil coolant', same problem.


I would also like to mention that I hate the new marketplace. Loved the old.

The search function is atrocious even when it is "working." Use google, and preface your search terms with "site:northamericanmotoring.com" to restrict hits to pages on NAM.
