I have a question and I was searching for it in the forum before posting (to avoid repeating questions) but the search function never works for me. Even searching for recent posts (with keywords as “steam”, “UI suggestion” or “editing”) I never get a single record found.

- Is search function in the forum completely broken?
- Do you have a suggestion for searching on MWiF forums?

Thanks!

- "Pearl Harbour", ok
- "Yugoslavia", ok

those from a couple of months ago:
- "email games" or "Tips for email games", 0 records
- "UI suggestion", 0 records
- "editing", 0 records

If it works for you all it has to be me, but I feel it should work better. Sorry if I write questions answered before.

site:matrixgames.com “World in Flames” + search term

YMMV

and got results from different games

For example:
