Problems with Search
I don't know if this is a bug or just my inability to comprehend what's required for a Search. I keep having this problem: I type in a word or phrase (with double quotes around it) that I'm pretty sure is in the posts I want to find, and also put in the name of the member who posted it, often my own name since I'm trying to find old posts of mine.
Often, although I KNOW the word was in some of my posts I get no hits at all. Other times I get a list of hits but only a few of them actually contain the word or phrase I'm looking for, and the others as far as I can tell bear no relation to it whatever.
The last one I did was "4500 years" with "Faith." Got some hits and many of them didn't have the phrase in them. What am I not understanding here?

Re: Problems with Search
Thank you! That reminds me that I too had looked for your story about the chickens when I brought it up the other day. You'd think "chickens" would have done it, maybe more than done it, but not a single hit. Thanks for the reminder.
By the way, what is the URL for that story? I'd like to read it again.

Same situation for me. Reply seems not to post, and it doesn't change the Topics page, doesn't move the thread up. But the new post will be on the thread if you click on it.

Funny, works for this thread, but not the RobinRohan thread.

The only thread I've been posting on is the RobinRohan thread and if that's a general Coffee House problem and we have to wait a year for it to be fixed, there is no point in anyone posting to Coffee House at all because it's just not working.

I'm sorry, I was just trying to emphasize that the problem is unusually bad. I don't know if it's the Coffee House forum or something specific to the thread, but it's really been acting up.
I just went in and made a correction to a post, however, that I'd tried to make half a dozen times already and it finally worked, so maybe there's no problem anymore.
