Search is rubbish

[JustFabulous]

Just did a search using titles only and yesterday and today. Came up with loads of threads and the first few definitely did not have the word I'd put in the search box in. It isn't the first time it hasn't worked as it should.

Ooh can I ask a thick search question? What do you put in the 'and do not include the words' box?

I do have limited success with search in general JF.

[JustFabulous]

I never put anything in that box. How could you, there are thousands of words that are not in the thread you are searching for!

[Sparklingbrook]

Exactly JF so what's it for?

IIRC The "does not include" field is for differentiatiating between chicken for recipes and chicken pox

[Sparklingbrook]

Oh I see Olivia. I think. I don't think I have ever put anything in that box.
