I seem to have discovered the internal search doesn't work well with file attachments.
For example I will tell you the thread I was looking for first:
https://planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,13078.msg129458.html#msg129458Now I was searching for this specific file since it was mentioned in a tutorial: "Camouflage Terrain Surface.tgc"
Searching for the exact file name brought up only one result, but after removing the .tgc I did get some (5) results including the thread I was looking for where that file existed as an attachment.
Please NOTE: The text that was matched when I found the thread I was looking for was not from text in the file attachment, but from text in the message body.
Maybe all file attachment posts should also list the file attachment name as text in the message body for future search ease?
In the first search of the exact file name I only got one result, and the matched text was in the body of the message.
https://planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=15418.0I could be wrong, but I thought I was able to search for attachments in the past using the internal search engine. If there is a way to make file attachments searchable that would be a good option to turn on I think.
