Summerhill

When I search for 'Summerhill' in threads, there are two mentions of it. I find this very weird. I was a Summerhill parent and have read and contributed to several threads about Summerhill over recent years, but these threads no longer come up in search results.
Please could mn explain why these threads are missing?

I know a Somerhill in Kent. Where is Summerhill?

It's a democratic boarding school in Suffolk. It's an unusual school; kids don't have to go to lessons.... There have been plenty of threads on it over the years, I just can't work out where or why they have disappeared.

I do t think search is working properly at the moment. I was looking for an old thread I had started and couldn't track it down with even precise search terms.

Hi @StripyCarpets

Are you using the Advanced Search function? If so, you can opt to view threads with the name Summerhill in the title and the opening post. We've just tried it and quite a few threads cropped up - some of them fairly old, admittedly, but there are definitely a number of threads on the site.

@JoMumsnet thank you! Yes, you're right. I thought something very suspicious was going on.
I don't know how to do an advanced search through the app, but it worked on the website. Thanks!

Ah, it may have just been a temporary glitch, then Smile

Glad you've found the threads.
