Please be kind to you fellow MT, and do not simply post “Search the archives.” Most of us already did that before posting the question. The way the MTStars SEARCH program is currently set up, many times there are NO results, even if you know the topic was just discussed a few days ago and/or is further down on the page.
The Search feature on MTStars has not been ungraded yet. They said they were going to work on it.
Right now if you want current information (after October 2009), you have to have at least 4 letters in order for the Search option to find any results. If you enter “TTD” even though there are tons of posts about them, nothing will come up in the search.
The Moderators also said they were working on a “wild card” or two-word search. Now, if you enter “Transcription Doctors,” it will bring up hundreds of posts with “transcription” and “doctor” somewhere in the "Subject" line. Also, it does not search the posts themselves, only the "Subject" line, which also limits a lot of searches.
If you do not have information, please just close the post and move on. Posting “Search the archives” only wastes everyone’s time and takes up space on the Board. If you know where an answer is, post the link or give directions of where to look.
THANK YOU.
