Does anything work properly on MN?

[JaneJeffer]

Advanced search brings up all sorts of random things not related to the thread I'm trying to find.

Hi OP

It would be really useful for us to know what you are typing into advanced search and what device and browser you're on. Please could you send us this information in an email on contactus@mumsnet.com? Can you include a link to this thread. We'll wait to hear back from you.

This has been brought up before and apparently it's deliberate, to help us find things even if we made a typo in our search terms.

I hate it too and no longer bother with advanced search, I just google "search term + Mumsnet" instead which works far better than the pile of shite that advanced search now is!

Hi @LilyMumsnet it doesn't matter now, Dawn has since sorted out a problem I was having which I knew there had been a thread about a month or so ago thanks.

Thanks for your help @LeopardPrintIsANeutraI. I think I will google from now on to narrow the field a bit!
