For some reason when I use the "search" feature I can't retrieve posts from the same day.

Example, earlier today I read a post and I am now trying to find the thread. When I used keywords (that I know were used in the post) the result is 'no results found.'

Then I went page through page through the threads and I found the thread I was looking for...and the keywords were there.

I do choose "Select all" from the search page.

Am I doing something wrong?

rnmcd the full text engine indexes every night not every hour So you will have to wait till tomorrow to do a full text search on messages from today.. Full text re-indexing and incremental populations is cpu intensive and disk intensive therefore it runs once per day in the wee hours of the morning.

When I do a keyword search for "acupuncture" it does not pull up the thread that I know has "acupuncture" in it. But it does pull up the same thread when I search with keywork "nealy". These words are in the same post in the same thread.

Any idea why "acupuncture" doesn't pull up the thread?

'cuz acupuncture hurts, that's why.

probably has to do with whatever algorithm the search engine uses. i.e. whatever shortcuts in terms of letter combinations did not pull acupuncture.

yeah that's all i can say. i may be a comp sci major, but i don't wanna be a programmer.

ron, search engines are not perfect. i'm hoping your PC is okay =)

Why would a Moderator delete the entire thread that I mentioned above (see-- Date Posted: Sep/19/2000 4:18 PM)?

It was just a thread about balding treatments?
