forum search problems

[Nethog]

I am surprised no one has complained about searching yet with the new bulletin board. When I do a search on AC-General/Help/Strategy for the word "*worms*" and "any date" specified I get only *6* hits, which are all recent hits (may 23-28 2001). Are the bulletin board administrators aware of problems with searching? Sorry if this issue has already been posted - I am unable to search to see if it has!

I tried searching for an old message I posted and the engine returned nothing. I assumed that my message fell out the bottom then, but maybe it could be a problem with the search engine too.

i probably didnt do a full indexing during installation....

now re-indexing 300000 posts....

[MarkG]

re-indexing has not finished, but the ac-general is probably parsed

worms gives 166 results
*worm* gives 273

Ah! Much better, however .... I still notice a problem searching in AC-General/Help/Strategy - I did a search for "*efficiency*" searching "titles only", and "all dates" and I get 5 hits. The problem is I don't see a thread that I started on May 28th titled "Hive and Zero Efficiency??" which *does* appear in the Forum. What's up with this?

[MarkG]

not sure about it....
the thread shows up when i search for posts by you....

Well, I would like to see all of the old threads we ever posted back, too.
