I saw the announcement about the modified search algorithms. Many thanks Bobby and Rui - it doesn't hang so much.
Still noticed a couple of glitches in a recent forum-wide search (searching for "New Zealand" with archive box ticked).
1. It came up with four pages of hits - great! - but the page selector was only found on the bottom of Page 1, and not on the other three pages. Unless it was hiding...
2. The search only worked with "Match exact phrase" checked. When I tried it with "Search for all Words", it found nothing - when it should, I guess, have found much the same number of hits (since "Zealand" rarely if ever occurs here without "New" in front of it). The "Exact Match, No Short Words" was checked - whatever that means (see query #3 below). I switched to the other option, and 7 pages of hits popped up.
3. There's a little
smilie-thingy next to the "Exact Match, No Short Words" option. Click on it, and a little help screen pops up. Only, the help screen is empty?
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
