• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

The search function is off kilter, at least for these specific recent searches...Hk45, 1911 holsters, TRP, etc...It'`s just pulling random threads it seems.

I did a search yesterday and all it did was search the general handgun forum. The search was about rifles. So I used the advanced search and specified the rifle forum. Then it did the same thing all results were from the general handguns forum.:confused:

i was searching for sierra gamekings in a search and it brought up stuff about .45 ACP. Did a search within the thread and nothing in there about Gamekings, so yeah, maybe something is wrong...:confused:

I too am getting only old posts and it is not searching the key words.

In the meantime you can use the google site search: type your search term "1911" site:thefiringline.com. It will give you a list of hits.

Upgrading the search engine caused a snafu with the existing search index. It's been regenerated and should be working now.
