Hi guys,

I am new to this forum, and I would like to thank everyone for the scripts and competence. I found a very interesting post: need help on removing green bar on top of a vhs video (http://forum.doom9.net/showthread.php?t=165329), but when I tried to type the word on the Search by keyword mask (Search titles only) I got the message Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. How can I change the settings to make it work? I am sorry if I make some grammar mistakes, I am Italian:)

What word ?

Search by keyboard mask (Search titles only) actually keyword

What that does is search only in the thread titles, eg your thread title is "Can't search by keywords", so it would only find
words "Can't" OR "search" OR "by" OR "keywords", there is no setting to help, if the anonymous word that you search for does not
exist in any thread title, then you will not find anything. Try some other words, eg just simple "green".

EDIT: If you do not have "Search titles only" ticked, then will search all of the posts in thread, not just the thread titles.
If you tick the "Show results as Threads", then will only show the thread where the keywords occur (where you would have to
manually look for the post where it occurred), nearly always better to tick "Show results as Posts" where the individual
post/posts will be shown, no need to manually search the thread.

Sorry for the spelling mistake, I corrected it :) You were right, the term vhs doesn't give me results, while using green solves the problem. Thank you!
