Searching for 'old' threads - is it me?

Or is this a really difficult task?

I only want to find a thread I started a little while ago (maybe a couple of months) about my DS' first wobbly tooth and update it because it (the tooth) came out tonight Smile and I wanted to see what the date was when it was first wobbly ... soppy old moo that I am ...

But can I find it? I can't stand it if I look for old threads ... my search always says "0 results" ... but I know the thread was there ... I don't know what the EXACT title was ... I don't even know what words I used but it must have said 'tooth' in the message ... and possibly 'tooth' in the subject line ... but still no joy ... I even think it may have been in the behaviour and development section ...

No chance ... nothing, zero, zilch, nada ... and it isn't as if I am thick or anything ... Grin

Please someone tell me how to look for old threads ...

Thanks ...

Hello y'all,

We are still ironing out a couple of bumps.

Reading this, I think we should:

Do away with the distinction between subject line and text and let you just search for text anywhere (ie just have one box)

Add "from" and "to" dates rather than just "since" to help narrow down finding threads that you know were there at some point.

We are looking at adding a "my threads" search so you can find threads you started.

In the meantime, if you search for "I" in the text field and a nickname in the box you can find pretty much any message that you wrote. We have very few messages that don't contain the word "I" (less than a sixth of them). I'd imagine that says something, but I'm not sure what.... Wink

Bear with us... should have the first set of changes in place tomorrow.

Regards,
Tech

Hello,

This change is in place now. I changed my mind about merging the thread title and message search boxes though. It struck me that if you wanted a thread with "baby" in the title, you'd be in trouble if you matched every message with baby in it.

Also, the distinction between current and archived messages is be gone, so I've changed the link to read "search all messages". The index of messages should always be up to date within a second or two of you posting.

We are going to get rid of the "search current messages" link as it's now redundant (and slower) but we'll wait until people get used to this one.

As with anything new, there are probably bugs etc so do let us know of any problems you encounter.

Regards,
Tech
