Search problem in MilesBuzz
So I was looking for a thread from a couple months ago on internet checking accounts. I initiated the thread, and there was discussion of Netbank, Bankdirect, and others. And I couldn't find it. It wouldn't come up by searching Netbank, Bankdirect, internet checking, internet banking, etc.
And then I did a search for my user name and all dates. And there was a total gap from the end of March through mid-July. This thread was from early July.
I went back manually and found the thread here:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum1/HTML/008956.html
So it's still there -- but search wouldn't find it. Weird.
Thanks,
Gary

I had occassion to do a search by both user name and thread title key word in OMNI just now for past 5 days and got zero results.
I posted based on that incorrect search result and was proven wrong. No big deal but here is the link with details and it may assist the techies to see if the problem is widespread?

Just to add I searched for user MRSTARALLIANCE over 5 days (in caps) using both check boxes offered:
* Search For Exact Name (case sensitive)
* Partial Name Match Acceptable
Despite him having a thread there on 9/11
I also searched for the title key word "remember" and got nothing for that thread using:
* Match all search terms above
Just now I tried for "Remember" (capital R)and that matched. I did not realise that was case sensitive only?
