How to use search function

[ToushiTime]

Please tell me how to use the search function on this site.

I want to find the topic on using Rakuten Card/Rakuten Cash to pay for Tsumitate Nisa and other Tsumitate Toushin in order to get/use Rakuten points.

The search function keeps telling me my search terms, such as those above, are too, sniff, “common”.

What terms should I use??

Don't use it, it's terrible

Instead, add "site:www.retirejapan.com/forum" to a standard web search.

For example: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=rakuten+tsumi ... 2-1&ia=web

Thank you. I was thinking of that solution but forgot the "site: xxx" shortcut.
Good to hear I am not the only one who couldn't get the damn thing to work
