It seems that there some issues with search -- the biggest one being that if the search gets a large result set an error is generated. How big a result set is that -- anything more than about 70 megabytes. The best thing to do when this happens is to narrow the search so the result set is smaller.
There may be some other issues and we may need to reindex the board -- I'm hesitant to do that though because it takes a longtime to complete -- about two days.

In fact, someone posted last Friday (4/16) that they couldn't find anything about a particular hotel, but I did a thorough review of that hotel, and the hotel name as the title in the thread & it was only in Jan 2004, but it didn't come up on search even though they were in the right forum, so I had to do it again (and did a much shorter review than the original one).
John, is search working in all forums & for longer than 2 weeks (the other timeline I heard)?
