Search engine - word too common

Hello,
I've been trying to find a Delica thread so I don't open another without a reason, if there is one already opened, but when I put the word "delica" in the search box, the result says that the word is too common.

I just can't search through pages and pages, and see no other option - this, or open a new thread.

Please advise.

Unfortunately, the search tool on most forums is a challenge. On ours, with such a busy forum, it's even worse because so many words can be excluded as common. And yes, the timer is a means to prevent an attack on the forum server (imagine if hundreds or thousands of bots attempted multiple repeating searches on the forum).

My best recommendation is to use Google to search the forum.

It's simple and reliable. Simply type site:forum.spyderco.com endura into a Google search (changing the bold word to whatever you're searching for).

I hope this helps!
