as the title states....

trying to link a few threads to help a guy in the bay forum with a windshield issue which i have posted about in the past.

if i use the search terms "windshield" i only come up with a more recent one in the vanagon forum. i have posted about windshield issues in the bay forum for years, but no matter how i try and search it, i get no results (other than the vanagon post)

has something changed with the search here? i use to be able to find those posts easily, and now not so much.

Recently I changed the default on the full Forums search screen to be "Search Title Only" from "Search topic title and message text" at the suggestion of a member.
This makes sense in my opinion for normal searches from a user who would probably want to start with a limited # of results but for what you are doing, it created confusion.

I believe this is your issue as I searched on your name and there was only one thread with windshield in the title but a ton with it in all posts.

If you change that selection you will find your Bay Window posts.

Direct link to the larger search (All Forums):
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/search.php?searc..._chars=200

Direct link to the larger search (Bay Window only):
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/search.php?searc..._chars=200

The default was NOT changed for the search box at the top of a Forum at this time so if you are in Bay Window and use the specific search box there, the "Title" select is not selected unless you check the box
