    The keyword search doesn't seem to be working for me on the
    file menu.

    Maybe I need to adjust my setup, or maybe something is up with
    that
    command?

    You need to be more specific - what file menu ?

    The (K)eyword search item on my file menu on my BBS, a new instance of
    MBSE BBS V1.0.7.17. I don't know why but any keyword I use to search
    for files don't turn up anything.

    Do the keyword search command work for you on your BBS?

    Just tried it with files, files.txt and allfiles.txt and some thing works but would use the files search and that does work as just tried allfiles.zip and
    it found it.

    Don't know what the keyword search does as never used it :)


    Oh, was logged in as me and as the sysop.

    I get good result with the (S)earch command. It finds files by filename or a wildcard without any issues.

    The (K)eyword search I think searches for the keyword in file descriptions.
    It may be broken or maybe it was never implemented, I'm not sure.

    It would be a good thing to have if that's doable.

    Ttyl :-),
