More Search Problems

I searched for: cajun
in Southwest

It did not find the post of 4/12/06 containing this word in the Title.

I think I could find another example, if I looked hard enough.

i was just about to add my burgeoning frustration to this thread, as i've written a couple of long reports on restaurants this past week and couldn't find them through search for the life of me. i had to go into my chow and link through there. makes it hard when you want to forward a specific link to a friend.

anyway, looks like there's a reason:

http://www.chowhound.com/topics/show/...

hope the indexing issue is a temporary thing and not ongoing.

I agree. There is something definitely wrong with the search function -- it doesn't give a complete list.

Case in point: On the Manhattan board, someone requested info on Boqueria when not two hours before, another person had written a long review. I was about to set the first bonehead straight (Do a Search, idjut!) when I gave it a try myself. Despite 'Boqueria' in the review's title, it did not show up in a search, even when I filtered for the Manhattan board. I conducted the search over 12 hours after both posts.

It's hard to expect people to research if the search function is not picking up all the relevant threads.

Example 2: Tlacoyo
in Southwest

It did not find the post of May 26, 2006 - again, the word is in the Title.

Does it not include the Title contents?

Interestingly enough, it does show up if you search 'topics' only. That is an odd discrepancy.

Thanks for the work-around.
