Searching and Error Message

Didn't know where else to post...

I've gotten the below message a few times when searching...am I doing something wrong or is it the technology? Thanks.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12 bytes) in /home/httpd/vhosts/terbca/httpdocs/vbulletin/includes/class_core.php on line 2999

This happens when there are too many possible matches to your search inquiry (but thank you from my frozen little TERBite heart for making the attempt rather than just begging for a handout).

If you put enter the words "Bambi" and "Review", the search function looks for any record of EITHER of these words rather than a record where BOTH of these words appear. So whereas you think you are limiting your search to reviews of Bambi, the database is actually trying to give you any thread with either word in it.

Try limiting your search to just one word at a time, and narrow that search by only looking in the appropriate forum rather than the whole site.

Thanks. How does one search for posts that would have "bambi" AND "review" in the same post?

Thanks. How does one search for posts that would have "bambi" AND "review" in the same post?

When you click on search in the main page you will see an option for advance search. Can help you refine the search for key words, or even forums.

Thanks, am aware of the advanced function, but doesn't address my question. Perhaps I should rephrase...any way to search with boolean logic (specifically "AND")?
