Forum Search Issue / DCC

[digitalhobbit]

I'm a fan of DCC (Dungeon Crawl Classics) and bought FG soon after the DCC toolset was released. I occasionally visit the forums to look for DCC related threads. Unfortunately, this is difficult because:

1. There is no DCC-specific forum.

2. Searching across the forums for "DCC" or "Dungeon Crawl Classics" doesn't work because the words are too common. I get the following error message:

The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search:
"dungeon crawl classics"

Both combined make it impossible to locate the (exceedingly few) DCC related threads.

Any chance of addressing either 1. or 2.?

They have decided that DCC should go in the Classic D&D section.
Dont use the forum search - use the Site Search button instead... it actually works unlike the forum one...

Thanks for the pointers.

Good to know. I'll look there.

Thanks for the tip! I hadn't noticed the Site Search before. It's a little tedious because the results include both forum threads and store items, but after sorting by recency, it seems like a decent workaround.

Site Search is a Google search, so you can use all sorts of advanced search functions, just google how to do an advanced Google search and you should be able to do all sorts of stuff.

Ah, right. Didn't realize it uses Google Search.

This query does the trick:

site:fantasygrounds.com/forums "dungeon crawl classics" OR "dcc"
