    last couple of days I've searched for a thread that I remembered and not found it ... today I repeated the search using Google and found what I wanted ...

    For example search for:

    Keywords = Leeks (I tried "Leek" as well)
    Posted by Member = Kristen
    Search in Forums = "All forums"
    Search child forums as well = Ticked

    It doesn't include this thread:
    http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/leeks-musselburgh.50333/page-3#post-684016
    for which the subject is "Leeks - Musselburgh"

    I then picked an old tread
    http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/olive-tree.23629/

    and picked some reasonably unique keywords:
    Devon Olive tree

    and tried a search on them. No matches :(

        I'm happy to use Google in the main - although it may not have indexes everything I suppose, and it won't reliably do posted-by, date range or specific forum.

        Just in case folk not familiar with it this will restrict a Google search to just this site:

        site:gardenerscorner.co.uk keyword1 keyword2 ...

        It may just need an index rebuild or similar to fix it - he said hopefully!

          That's what I've been using since the latest software update as the inbuilt search misses a lot of stuff.

                  Earlier searches, which previous failed, now work just find. Thanks RR, that should hopefully help newbies et al looking for stuff with the Search function
