I recently posted a tab that I had for years. Didn't remember where I had gotten it. So I did a song search on here to see if this was where I got it from. No song showed up. I later happened to stumble across the song by checking out someones profile to see other songs they had posted. There was no mistake to where I got the song from since he wrote the song. So I deleted mine.

When I posted it I used a 3 word title. On his title the first two words were just one word.

My question is: Can the search be set up to where as long as it's close it will pull up similar songs? To where if you put i before e instead of e before i it will still come up with the song. Or if you use two instead of 2 or leave out 'The' at the beginning or any other little difference it will still show up.

It seems you have to be dead on, letter for letter, word for word. Sometimes the poster and the searcher may not be in total agreement as to the correct title or spelling.

You should only be posting Tabs you have done yourself.

As for searching I have some improvements I would like to make to the site as a whole but have not been finding anytime to make the changes.

The best way I have found to search harptabs.com is, well, not in harptabs.com.
Use standard Google and prefix your search with the following . . .
site:harptabs.com

For example:
site:harptabs.com amazing grace
