Re: searching

[woodstockbit]

Can someone explain this to me? The search facility keeps returning `No relevant questions found' -- even when I can SEE that there's a relevant question (like a question referring to a Sunday crossword in the title, when what I've typed into `Search (site)' is `Sunday'. It didn't used to do this to me, but it's been doing it for the past couple of weeks (so that I ended up asking a question that had already been asked and answered, which I would of course prefer not to do, hence the search). What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Katherine

The search facility on here is always on the fritz. You're better off using google to search for threads on here. Some recommend also including the word "Answerbank" (but without the quotes) when searching using google. This method works for me. :)

Thanks Bravejordy, I'm glad it's not just me. Will do that in future. All the best, Katherine

better still, enter your search terms on google followed by

site:theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles

eg
Herculis site:theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles

Thank you Gen2 -- sounds like this would bring up less `junk'. The Answerbank is an amazing source of knowledge for all KINDS of things and new search techniques is one! All the best, Katherine
