Every time I try to search for something on here, I just end up with a blank page.

Anyone else having issues with searches?

The search function has been broke since i've been a member here. You have to search by using only one or two words. Most people here know the function is broke, so if you looked at the last 2 or 3 pages and can't find the answer... go ahead and post the topic in question.

This site should be called Dave's ESL Cave.
Cafe's were invented much LATER than the technology that this place uses.


And, the trolls?

I set up a search for Dave's and the very useful Marmot Hole here:

http://www.gokorea.info/search.htm

You can, of course, use google to search dave's.

The search function, as best I can tell, barfs when you search on very common things, things that will produce vast numbers of hits. For example searching the whole forum for "korea" results in a blank page. Searching on "mutation" in the off topic forum returns results.

So, try to narrow your search and search in a specific forum.

I've found it works if you just put the word "and" in front of whatever you're searching for.

For example, if you're looking for boxing gyms, just type "and boxing and gym and Seoul" and you'll find some relevant posts.
