i cant speak for others, but i have a good memory, and have always been able to find ancient posts based on that memory, with zero problems, until this recent whatever happened. mostly using FT search rather than google. now there are basically no valid results for any searches. for example as i said, all results being ancient, including for terms that probably have many posts every day on FT.
btw, whoever mentioned "inurl:" in wiki - thanks! didnt know that one.
I had no problems finding that thread, from the forum or searching all fora.
Search term:
"wrong"+"ff"
I had no problems finding that post, either searching by poster handle, or by searching within posts (results as posts) for
alaskaair.com/content/.
But if there's a new post, or a post is edited in the case of searching within posts, it may require some minutes before the data base index is updated. I notice this when I'm moderating and doing thread splits or post moves in particular; the index can "loose" posts temporarily or experience false pagination problems.
