How do I search for CS2? (please read before judging)

Hey Polkers,

I really couldn't find any other place where this post would fit into (didn't see a website support section), so thought I'd try it here.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to search for CS2 in this forum. It doesn't let me do two-letter searches (example "CSi A6" - the "A6" upsets the search engine). When I search for "CS2" I get a "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." error, but there are plenty of posts with CS2 in the title and body. :confused:

I'm looking to buy a CS2 center channel, and want to search the forums instead of reading through each for-sale post.

Any suggestions? I think CS2 may be too short for this forum even though the error message doesn't say so. Searching for CS20 works fine. Are these speakers called by some other nickname or something that I can try? Most other models are alright, I can search for "monitor 70" and even "csia6" without spaces and get hits, but I really want a CS2. Tried "CS2 center" and all I get is matches for "center". Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you!

    Type CS2* in the search box and you will get anything that contains CS2 (ie: CS245, etc...) as well as CS2.

    The search engine here has a minimum of 4 characters. As shack suggested, placing an * at the end of the word works.

    Usually, I just search the Club Polk forums on google. Just type "club polk" into the search bar, followed by "CS2"(or whatever you're searching for).

    Beat me to it Curt, was gonna put that little nugget about the minimum four characters in the search dealy. Also, if you are looking for a good place to buy it from , Newegg is hard to beat. Right now they have it for $129.99 w/ free shipping. Keep an eye out here in the Deals of the Day thread for links to good deals with speakers and etc. Also, if you go to Newegg and sign up for an account (free) you will be notified by E-mail when they have specials, and the CS2 occasionally makes the list. Good luck, and welcome to Club Polk.

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

    I listened to a Polk system at a friend's place, which prompted me to get some speakers for myself.

    Thanks Jeff for the Newegg link - you're right, it's hard to beat their prices. In fact just this morning I got a Newegg "March madness" email and they had a $25 promo going on CS2 speakers! I jumped on that deal and ordered one for 105 shipped. Haven't seen a new CS2 for such a low price anywhere.

    you can also use the google search on the top right of the page to do a less than 4 character search. It will bring up a list of links some with valid info and some not so valid.

    Best of luck,

    That was where I got the link, they have some very good deals. Congrats on the CS2, you will not be dissapointed.
