When I try to "Search this Thread" for "Hong Kong" or Hong Kong [without quotes] or Hong or Kong, I get only 1 hit. I know of the 2,500 posts in this thread that more than one talks about the IC Hong Kong.
Is this an error or bug, or am I doing something wrong? There is really nothing under the Advanced Search options to cause anything different in the results.
You aren't doing anything wrong. This is a known issue and is currently being investigated. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Okay, this is the third time I'm posting this same question. So far no response though posts by others have been responded too. If the problem is simply that search doesn't work, then let me know. If I'm doing something wrong I'd like to know that.

I get 55 threads when I search the Marriott forum for napa, so perhaps they made some improvements?
I get the same number of threads whether or not I enclose napa in quotes.

I was able to get lots of threads but not the post that I remembered seeing. Today the search seems to be pulling up all the threads and/or posts including the one that the search didn't identify when I posted my original question.

I get the impression from having skimmed over the last two pages of this tread that you don't have a specific bug identitied and like to receive examples? In case that's correct, here's another example:
In the bmi Diamond Club forum, http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/bmi-diamond-club-486/
I used the drop-down "Search this Forum" with "Show Threads" selected. I tried using the following words and got the following results:
Fax = Too Short
Machine = No Results
Fax Machine = First Word ignored as too short but No Results anyway
"Fax Machine" = No Results
A fellow FTer seems to have also searched for "Fax Machine" to discover the thread I was trying to locate.
This is briefly mentioned in this thread: Whats up with the fax at BMI DC ?
I use Internet Explorer v6.0.2900.5512.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236
Windows XP Media Centre
for information regarding open jaw travel. However, searching "open jaw" or open jaw results in "no results found." Which is odd, since I can find at least three instances of the phrase within the first page, but not with the information I need (and not looking forward to manually searching all 28 pages).
I put "Bartek Bachleda" into the United forum search and got zero results. I put it into the main search and got zero results. So, I posted a thread on that story, only to find out it already exists.
Now, try the same search, and my thread comes up alone, not the bigger pre-existing thread!

Thanks. It appears that our indexing process sporadically misses posts. We're working on addressing the issue.
