I have noticed that there seems to be an increase in multiple threads on the same topic. At first I got all indignant
that no one seemed to use the search function.
I decided to see if it was me and typed "SUSAN" in the seach field on the home page.
The "I Hate Susan" thread wasn't displayed as an option as a thread title. It did find all the references in the text of various threads. If I actually go to the SEARCH from the menu bar I can be more specific and get the results I am looking for.
Is there a set parameter for the search field? I think that is why there are so many duplicate topics-people DO do a search and don't get the appropriate threads listed as results. I know thats where I'd go first... I had assumed I'd get the same results from using the button as I would with the menu option. I think if you just get to the site thats the first place you'd look before posting a new topic. (Confession: I never really used the search menu option because I assumed I'd get the same results
)
Is this something that can be changed or otherwise re-parameter-ed? (I know, I know, its not a real word... don't tell Shecky
)
Thanks
