Unable to keyword search “2018 & Prior Forum”

Is there any reason why I am unable to keyword search the “2018 & Prior Forum”? When I try to access it, the “2018 & Prior Forum” page appears, but when I try to access the keyword search feature, a notice comes up saying “the server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request” and says to contact the MTFCA server administrator, so here I am.

I just use a google search and am able to access/read subjects posted that go back for quite a few years. "mtfca; magneto" yields;

Used Google search but the results are limited and did not included the thread I previously found and am interested in resurrecting. Is there no answer re this issue.

Per Mark above, Google is the best to use for searching, always has been.

"your search term" site:www.mftca.com

rear axle drawings site:www.mftca.com

2 or 3 words is usually sufficient, leave out all the small words.

The last update to the website software broke some of the old forum software code which I will have a look at as time permits.

Thanks for the input. What is strange, last week a few times I was able to do a word search the "old way" and it worked fine then didn't. It does not appear that when I use the Google method that I get all the results I did with the old way but may but may be my imagination.
