When I try searching Invelos Forums with the "search in entire message" and "any date" options, after a while I get  a "Network Error". The same happens now and then when posting. I don't know if it's due to my connection or is it a website issue? Just asking.

I get the same sometimes.  Usually after a few tries it works.  It probably depends on the amount of traffic Invelos is getting at the time.

I think it would help if the search supported multiple terms.  It seems to treat multiple words as having OR in between them instead of AND.  Even if you put them together in quotes it still treats them separately.  Makes finding some things very difficult.

It's often easier to use Google. Use advanced search and put "invelos.com" in the domain box.

Or add "site:www.invelos.com" to your Google query (saves the hassle of going into 'advanced').

Also, some more "search by date" options.  If you are looking for messages older than 30 days (but not much older than that), you can only select "Any date", and that takes much longer and sometimes results in "Network error".

I noticed I sometimes get "Network error" with: the Search Forum tool, with posting/preview, with Database, and with the Credit Lookup tool, but never when I submit a Contribution, even when it takes a very long time before loading the page.

Yes, that's what I do as well, but a Google search on the Invelos site will sometimes find a "by user []"  page rather than the direct link to the thread, then you may have to browse several pages of his/her posts to find the relevant one.
Besides, you can't search by Subject or narrow the search to the last few days or weeks.

Then don't click the google hit directly but click on "in cache". Google will show the page in its state when it was scanned and also highlight the search words.

I should have thought of that! Thanks for the hint!
