Your frustration is certainly understandable, but I might be able to offer a bit of assistance (I hope )

Try an advanced search on the terms - "mother's" cookie - (mother's in quotes, cookie not in quotes) with the following settings:

Find posts by user: ILuvParis
Sort results by: Relevancy
Show results as: Posts

When performing this search, I found 45 results.

Alternatively, you could also Show results as threads. Either way, I ended up with 45 results.

Placing only the word "mother's" in quotes helped in this case because mother is much more common than mother's.

Not perfect, but sometimes playing around with ways to narrow the result set through the use of more selective search terms and settings can lead to better results.

I hope this is helpful.
