Usually the problem of missing results of threads/posts that exist has been an indexing problem or corruption of the data. Any ideas as to who might be handling the search problems this week? I think Kevin might be on vacation.
I just did a search, and the indexing seems to be grabbing things pretty much in real-time, at least at the moment.
I think the default is 25 results per page, perhaps there is also a maximum page size creating pages with variable numbers of results on some of the results pages. My search a few minutes ago had 25 except the last page, but none of the quoted text was very long.

would be nice if the ib guy, kevin (or someone) would check in again also with an update.
the other thing i've just noticed is when going through a multi-page search result, the pages you've already clicked on are no longer highlighted. that's not an issue with a three page result, but when looking through a multiple page result it's quite frustrating to remember what pages you've already clicked on. additionally, as someone noted upthread, each 'page' of results doesn't seem to have a lot of hits, is there a way to change the default number of hits per page?
You're welcome, I've been trying to help if I know the answers or work-arounds, or if I can at least figure out one of the two.
Are you talking about the red highlighting of the key words?
I wish they'd make it variable, my Google default is set to 100/page. It would be much easier on me to go through fewer pages.
