Mods - Close thread, please.

Thanks but it didn't seem to help for me. Can you give it a try and see what results you get? I'd really like to find the thread(s) from last winter on the FFG sale on their Legends & Lore product line print products.

I tried both phrases you mentioned and got the same results you did.

Yeah, the Search function is flaky. Using the same search criteria, I got different results by displaying the results ascending vs. descending. Descending went back only to May this year. Ascending showed Jan 02 through April 02. <shrug>

No joy, though, on finding what you want.

Bummer. Thanks for trying, though, guys.

for the last 5 or so searches i got no result too. and i know there should have been one. it was a pained to manually look for the thread i wanted.

I was searching for threads about forsakers, and apparently there weren't any in 2003 or 2004. But when I searched using google, I found a thread in this interval with "forsaker" in its title.

I infer that there are still problems with the search function database.

I suppose there is not much that can be done until Spoony Bard returns from his personal leave.

You have the solution right there in your post, search with Google!

Google site:enworld.org keyword

It's not complete but might work.

search hasn't been working quite right for me for a few months...

I've been doing that, but board based searching was supposed to be a benefit of being a community supporter. I would still pay the annual fee even if there were no search function provided, but if the search function was promised then I think the promise should be kept.

And anyway Google doesn't help if you want to sort by forum, by thread starter, by date, or by other parameters. I also don't know how thoroughly google has indexed EN World.

I was trying to search the other day, and I came to the conclusion that search can't find anything from 2004 and most of 2005.

that seems to be basically true. and sparingly for 2003 it seems.
