Is the search function broken??? It ain't finding all the posts I know exist...

[SlightlyMadSecretSoundWinner]

Cos if I search on a posters name (I ain't telling you who cos they will know think I am stalking them), it brings up a number of posts from today BUT i can go directly to other threads where they have posted and see their posts.

It ain't a typo of the name.

Is MN indexed like google and therefore subject to delays between a post appearing and being searchable? I am sure I have seen some v v recent results on a search before.

search doesn't work for me if i put date parameters in. waaaaaaaaaah. 'tis really annoying.

Not even if you click the today/yesterday options?

Strange

Actually whilst we are on the point would it be possible to change the today/yesterday clicks to a small list of radio buttons with the options:

Last hour (maybe this is pushing it???)
Today
Last 3 days
Last week
Last month
User specified (with the typable boxes..)

Maybe it has our vostro quiche chest infection

Its still got the lurgy, there are still posts hiding from the wonderful search function....

I'll flag it up to the tech team.

TY, can you pass on my suggestions in the 3rd post too please????

Seems to be working ok for me at the moment - is there any change that you've got some topics excluded from your search options?

I meant chance (it is late).

No if I search for a certain poster, I can see one post from a given thread - even though they have posted about 4 times on teh same thread....

If I search for "Abbymumsnet" I don't see your last post "I meant chance (it is late)", but see the other comments on this thread...

TY Tech...the missing posts seem to have come out of hidin....

This has been fixed, we hope.

If any more instances of search not working as you'd expect do happen please start a new thread.

Ta.
