Hello

in my Forum the SEARCH function don't work.

It search only some word. Other word (i take it from some post) don't appear on Search.

What can i do to solve this problem?

I Use WebWiz Forum 8.02 + Access Database

I've tried to upgrade to Version 9, but the problem is the same.

This often happens if you change the page encoding (eg iso-8859-1 to UF-F8), your old posts will be saved as one encoding and the new ones under the new encoding, making the old posts impossible to search.

Make sure what encoding you are using in your includes/setup_options_inc.asp file and stick with that encoding to prevent searching issues.
