In the past it has pissed me off and it's pissin me off right now. I've been looking for a thread that Zed started awhile back. It was titled something like, "What would you do with this power?" but the search function isn't helping at all. I've searched the Lounge all the way back to the middle of May with no luck either. :angry:
Well it is time consuming but have you tryed clicking on Zeds name and search all posts ?
I tryed too for ya no luck, tryed google ? :lol:
I tried this for Zedaxax, 15%, and 99%. I went through them all twice! I'm sure I'm overlooking the post at some point, but if the search function worked this wouldn't be an issue. :frusty:Quote:

Its possible it was one of the corrupted threads removed from the databse...
The search fuction works perfectly if you know how to use it:
Just go to Advanced Search.
Type the name of the person you are looking for in Search for username.
Change the drop-down menu below it to Find threads started by user.
Untick the Exact name box next to it.
Refine the search by selecting a section below in the Search in Forum(s) box.
You can further refine your search by putting in a keyword in the left hand box and selecting Search titles only.
The above will find all the threads started by the member in that section. That's the way I use it and I've never had any trouble. The thread has to have existed in the first place, be by the person in question and/or not deleted for the search function to work but I think it does a good job nevertheless.
I can't find a thread like that by 15% or Zed. Are you sure you aren't referring to Hobbes' "What power do you want?" thread?
I know how to use the advanced search. :dry:
That's why the search function sux. I saw it by accident about an hour before trying to find it, so I know it exists.Quote:

Hell, you're probably just making it all up to get attention. :dry:
our search option works fine... I think your doing something wrong.
I got no problems here.
Sometimes its a little tricksy to come up with the words to use in searches but,
like google, experiment helps.
I might as well have gone outside and said this to the brick wall for all the good it did. No, I'm not exactly sure on the title, but if it's wrong, it's not by much. I am on the other hand 100% sure that the word "power" is in the title. So, if the search function works fine, where's the thread? :ermm:
Like everyone else in this thread has said: The search function works fine.Quote:

Every thread I've ever made is findable via the search function as are of those of my former username of Withcheese (and there is a lot of them). Are you trying to tell us that the search function randomly selects a member and randomly will not find one of his/her topics?
Stop being silly. Silly.
It works fine and dandy, http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showt...6&page=1&pp=10 found in about 30 seconds.
It's pointless attempting to discuss anything with you. No matter how civil I remain, you just continuously berate people in threads, insist that you're right and never wrong, and toss around mildly insulting comments. I have come to the conclusion that you will never serve me any purpose on this board. I've never had to use it but...welcome to my ignore list. :)Quote:

So it would seem you are also guilty of the crimes that you accuse me of.
I do berate some people I guess. But only the stupid, obnoxious ones. Bye bye silly.
Poor Fake Shemp. He'll never get to 20 posts. :(
it's strange that Fake Shemp and you post with the same IP.... :shifty:Quote:

Fake Shemp is my favourite of all psuedo, pseudonyms.
Apart from UKResident.
Shempy might have some vague horror film connection that I don't quite understand but he's no 62 year old vegan, mentalist marathon runner.
