Thank you for explaining this. I was excited to read it, as it solves the problem I was having.
Well, almost. It works just as you said: "Only threads or mileposts with both Park and Lane will appear as a result." However, Park and Lane do not need to appear together, or even in the same post for a thread to be returned. (In my brief testing, the terms did both appear on the same page, which is way better than both terms appearing anywhere in the thread.)
Milepost is a term I made up long ago for content posted on FlyerTalk, rather than simply
post. I thought it was more appropriate for a site such as FlyerTalk.
Back when what you referred to was written almost 17 years ago, what I wrote was the case. The search feature on FlyerTalk has improved over the years; so what I wrote may be slightly outdated at this point...
