Default Searching forums with android tablet

Does anyone else have a problem using the search button to search the forums using an android tablet it or an iPhone? The search box goes away after first letter is entered on either the tablet or iPhone. Anyone get around this on their device?

Happens all the time on my Iphone 4S.

If I go back two or three times, it will let me search like normal.

Weird!

The easy solution is to click the "advanced search" link (at the bottom of the search box) from mobile devices. It's one more tap to get started but a lot less frustration.

Not a tablet but, running the latest version of droid on my phone. No issue with search.

Default You can use Google to search VAF....maybe that will help.

For example:

Enter this in Google

F-804N site:vansairforce.com

It searches for part F-904N on the site. You might be able to use the Google app similarly.

v/r,
dr

On my Android tablet (Samsung Tab7), I use the "Advanced" function of the search window. The regular search window will not work on my tablet.
