Seems peculiar, though I believe you, that one would do better going to Google to search for what one is after on FT than using FT's own search function. Just tell me please how you would use Google for the particular search I had in mind, that is to find if there had been any FT discussion of the MP miles for hotel points the UA email advised me of back on 7/10. Am I to paste in exactly what I see above here, which doesn't make any sense? Or I go through successive iterations on Google to get to where I want to be?

I will play around with Google to see if I can come up with a FT thread on the subject. If I come up empty-handed, then I may start a new thread and ignore any reproachful responses about how a search would have led me to a previous thread. (Do others find FT's search function disappointing?)

Thanks.
