Default You know how we are always telling each other to search.....

You know how we are always telling each other to search for the hamster first-aid kits threads before posting a new one (this has come up at least 3 times while I have been here)? Well, it turns out it is impossible to search for that here. The search function tells you that the words first, aid, and kit, are all too common to search for, and when you put in a whole phrase like "hamster first aid kit" it just excludes the last three words and searches for hamster. This just amused me this morning so I thought I would post about it.

Yeah, the forum software doesn't always let you search for terms if they're used too frequently. Perhaps it might be a good idea to sticky on of these threads up to the top?

I've merged the two threads about first aid kits that had the most info and stuck them at the top of the healthcare section given the challenge searching for them

How to make a hamster first aid kit

You're the best, thank you! I definitely need to stock up on some first aid supplies.

If I'm struggling I actually resort to googling results just from hamster central lol
It seems bonkers to use a search engine to search a site with a search feature but it works far better sometimes
