Something wrong with "search" function?

I was browsing through the United forum, and in a number of threads saw ozstamps recently ubiquitous posting on Russians running the Red Carpet Clubs. I'm not sure it was that witty the first time, but I am pretty sure that it can't possibly be worth repeating time and time again. But that's just my personal opinion.

Anyway, I wondered just how often he had copied and reposted that piece, so I decided to do a search. Seizing on the rather creative spelling of borscht, I set the parameters to search for "boorscht" throughout.

And got a response that it appeared only one time (in the below thread):

Well, I knew that wasn't correct; after all, I had just come from:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum50/HTML/004894.html


and


http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum50/HTML/004862.html


and I seem to recall a couple more.

My question is, why didn't they show up on the search query?

Perhaps because the Search function did not find it funny either and decided not to show it to you 100 times!!!

I agree Counsellor - very strange. Just to duplicate your results, I went to the United forum and entered OzStamps as the user, and "Aeroflot" as the keyword. I also came up w/ only one thread, even tho this word is clearly in all three posts.

FWIW, I too have had occasional search difficulties, most recently in the AA forum!
