Is the search function working? Or am I doing something wrong?

[Xol]

I was looking at some old threads I had on "I'm watching" and wanted to use the search function to see whether by any chance the OP had updated. Every time the search against the OP's name came up blank, even though I had literally just been looking at several posts from them. What is going on?

Try AS.

Hi there, @Xol . Yes. As @ScentOfAMemory says, do try Advanced Search here: www.mumsnet.com/search/advanced. You can search by username and that should find them.

Hi. That link doesn't work. Is there another way of getting to AS?

Hi OP

Sorry - here you go! www.mumsnet.com/search/advanced

Thanks!

But, out of interest, why can't you do a reliable search using the normal search function?

I asked about this the other day but got no response.
