search function
 

it seems like whenever i want to search through these great forums for bands i know or want to get to know...i have issues.

either i dont meet the proper word length, have gone over the word length, or i have searched within the past 15 sec(usually after i get one of the other 2). is there any way to change the settings on this?

There's no way of changing it.

damn. i was kinda expecting that.

try and think of an association for whatever you are searching for i.e if you are looking for a certain band type in their most popular album and go from there.

Just as good, google what it is you want to search for as normal and add; +MusicBanter...on the end.
