Search problem

I tried searching the BA forum for the word "first" in the topic title and got no results

Cleared all cookies, logged in again, same problem.

Scanned the subject lines and found a few threads with the word "first" in the title (of course!)

Some words are excluded from the search functionality to prevent an overload on the servers (e.g., miles, points, etc) ... "first" happens to be one such word.

Sorry for the confusion this caused.

Mikel,

Would it be possible to somehow put the excluded words on the search screen so people know....? I never would have thought the words miles or points would not be allowed... especially if paired with another word.

I'll pass that along as a suggestion wharvey, although at first blush I'm not sure if that would lessen the confusion or increase it
