Is it not functioning at all, or is there just one feature that you are having a problem with? You may wish to elaborate on this further. BTW, I used the search feature this morning without a problem.
As this is a technical issue and not DL related, that is the board where I will be moving this thread to.

Search only returns a couple of days worth of data
I just did a search for "Exit Row MVP" on the NW forum and got no hits, which surprised me. I then changed my search to "Exit Row" and got only 4 or 5 threads, all of which were recent. Is this by design?

Still having search problems
I'm still having search problems. I'm ether getting a message that the administrator only allows 1 search every 30 seconds or if my search does go through I'm missing results. For example, when I search the starwood forum for San Diego I'm getting less than 6 results. I know for a fact that there are many more San Diego starwood topics - including the one I'm looking for with the e-mail address for the manager at the Sheraton San Diego hotel and marina. I'm not setting any restrictions to my search.
Am I doing something wrong or do I have to wait in line and hope I hit the search at least 30 seconds after the last person.
Thanks

I'm experiencing problems in the Coupon Connection. I know for a fact that I had started a thread on Hilton Easy Escapes (I found it independently), buttthe search function doesn't turn it up.

What's the thought behind barring people from searches until 30 seconds from the first search?????? Clearly the new FT has it's "issues" compared to the old one....

I've posted in several threads about the Hilton Mission Bay resort in San Diego. Searching "San Diego Resort" and "San Diego Hilton" in the HHonors forum ONLY brings up recent posts (in this case, all of the hits I received were in threads that received posts today) and I haven't seen any hits from before the switchover.
For example, neither search finds this thread.

Short search words
Another "issue" with search which is rather annoying, is that if the words are too "short", it will ignore the search string. Thus, if I search CX CO BF (Cathay Pacific, Continental, Business First) it comes back with "CX CO BF" search terms ignored, which severely limits the possibility of searching about Cathay and Continental and BusinessFirst, since these abbreviations are so common that few people spell them out.
