Where's my thread about "Idiot Teenager gets Tigger CM Suspended"?

 

[Charade]

We'll you're having a very unique problem. I have three computers that I use (laptop, desktop, wife's desktop), alternatively, and all three return results for me, as does my computer at work (which I typically do not use). You'll need to post a message on the Technical Support board, so one of the webmasters can help you figure out what setting on your browser is messing things up.

While I don't have any technical problems, I'm wondering how you search for all the threads you've posted on , not the one's you've started using the current search mechanism. Without subscribing to all.

You were searching for "tigger suspended" -- try searching for "tigger suspension". The title of the thread is "Idiot teenager causes CM Tigger suspension".

It cannot find what you're looking for if you use different words in the search than are in the message!

I use the subscription mechanism to keep track of threads I'm actively posting in. I don't see an advantage for me for using Search for that over using subscription.

I just want to find my recent posts!!!!! Give us back the old search!

Puuuhhhleeeezzzzze!

Search isn't a bandwidth issue, for information systems. It's a CPU capacity issue.

Search may now not do what you want it to do, but I, personally, have found it to be far superior to the old functionality. As a matter of fact, it does exactly what I have been asking for for years. While I appreciate that that doesn't address your needs, please don't imply that my needs, now fully satisfied, don't exist, by saying that the Search is "completely unusable."

AHA! So, all of us who hate it now can blame you then!


J/K

But I do hate that it doesn't bring up all recent posts by a user. Sometimes a reference to something someone else said will make me want to see what they are talking about. The biggest frustration for me is reading an OP about some serious concern a poster may have then trying to see if the 12 thousand pages are just people saying, "Wow, that is too bad." or if the OP actually has come back to give an update. The sympathies are nice and definitely appreciated but I don't want to read them all just to find out if the OP is okay.

makes stalking someone so much harder

so true.

 

[Cantw8]

so true.

Yes, I hate not being able to stalk those that I love Kejoda, I just saw your ticker (probably would have seen it earlier but I can't stalk anymore) CONGRATULATIONS

 

[RadioFanatic]

Wow, I didn't realize I was going to start such a fervor! Do we have a picketing smiley? But seriously, I wish a moderator would come on board and explain what we should do to remedy it. You can't tell me they haven't seen this thread.

Many search tools (such as Lucene, the one my product uses) prioritize search terms close to each other, and only display results which reach a certain level of match.

I can take it!

 

[Mysteria]
