Search feature?
| Sun, 09-21-2008 - 7:43pm |
Okay - I am at my wits end with this. Its just ridiculous. Is everyone having problems with it??
I have been posting here for almost 4 years, for 3.5 of those years I had NO trouble using the search feature. I couldn't almost always find what I was looking for with it. I relied on it a lot when I was a cl to pull up the right info for people. So its not like I don't know how to use it.
Now it just doesn't work anymore. I can search for something like "chicken" and it will say "No Matches". Just now I searched for "cheese" (looking for a recipe that I remembere that contains cottage cheese) Yep, it said "No Matches". For cheese. Now come on, there are 100's (if not 1000's) of posts that have "cheese" in them.
What is up with that?

Hi,
This has been a problem for a while now and a lot of us have been complaining.

It's gotten much worse lately and I don't think the tech people get it.

I'm sorry the search feature isn't working well for you -- it's been reported.
Does this search all boards? I don't know how helpful that would be to us here because we are usually looking for very specific threads and info that relates to our board.
Our board contains VAST quantities of information accumulated over many years. Many times the same questions are asked over and over and over again. It is helpful to be able to just pull up the old threads rather than retype and answer every time. When I was a cl I used the search feature at least 10 or more times to a DAY answer new member questions. Not to mention lots of us older member use it for menu planning.
If I use that search you posted and search for "chicken pesto" I do not get a recipe that ws posted on here. If I search for "breastfeeding" I do not get our thread full of information we have compiled on how to modify the South Beach diet for breastfeeding.
I think we have a different situation here than most boards. We are just as much a data base of information collected as we are a chit-chat/support board. The search feature used to make that data usable, now it is not.

MichaelAnn,
I've had nothing but trouble trying to find info going back, too.
