Search function on this site

[petec]

Does anyone else find the search function on this site incredibly unreliable? For example I often search for the Aimia thread using "Aimia". >50% of the time it either gives no results, or gives threads where Aimia is mentioned but not the Aimia thread itself. I had the same experience with Leucadia a couple of days ago.

Case in point: I searched for Aimia this morning. The first three times I got no results. The 4th time I got a long list of threads Aimia had been mentioned in, but not the Aimia thread. The fifth time I found the Aimia thread itself.

I think it depends where you search. If you are on the investment ideas page, and use the search there, it will bring up results from within that forum. Same with general discussion or other sub-forums.

Try searching through Google with "site:...".

Thanks both - it's been driving me nuts.

Attached is an elaboration by screen shots of what LC said. This gives you one hit - every time. [ : - ) ]
