Thanks Kevin...still it's a bit sad because for many it deletes half the benefits of the usage of FT...we hope it can be fixed soon. Thanks for your hard work on it.
In the meantime, I selected no email notification in my subscribed threads section on my profile because I dont want to be emailed everytime someone posts but I do want to see a list of my posts and choose what I want to read. It is showing no subscribed threads for me now, does it only show threads I respond to post changing my preference? or will my previous posts show up at some point?

I think this may be the issue ed1 is having, but how do you actually subscribe to threads in order to get the work-around to work?

My theory about the question mark is wrong. I tried a different thread with a question mark and it worked fine. So there must be some other reason why it doesn't find the Daily Show thread with "cancelled" as part of the search.

Yes, I'm sure I spelled it the same way the OP did. I did notice and remember the two l's in "cancelled".

Nothing found to match your search request
Reason: Your search terms were not found
Possible Cause: You may have searched for something our search engine has never seen before. Try using a simpler form of the word, for example if you searched for the word "fishes", try revising your search with the simplistic form "fish" instead.
Possible Cause: You may have searched for something that was missed by the indexer. In this case, if you know for certain your search should have found results, notify us and we will rebuild the appropriate portion of the index.
Please try revising your search terms and try again. If you believe your search terms should be returning results, please create a post in the user support forum, detailing exactly what you were searching for and an idea of what you feel it should be returning for results.

I tried it and my results were similar to yours. You can find the thread if you search for "Daily Show", but a search for "Daily Show cancelled" yields this:

Is A Daily Show cancelled?

Is A Daily Show cancelled?
I suspect on Monday, The Daily Show will return, replacing A Daily Show, possibly forever. Thoughts?

Weird. I just ran it again a got nothing when "Daily Show cancelled" was in quotes and only one hit when I removed the quotes.

Unlike most search engines, I haven't had much luck using quotes on FT. But I don't have any idea why we're getting such different results otherwise.

Can you make the default search setting search both post body and title? It would be real nice if I could type in "exercise blog" and have the OMNI Exercise Blog pop up on the first page somewhere.

Yes, but it still doesnt provide an easy way to see which ones were responded to since you last checked. I guess a lot of threads will lose traction much faster than before now. Sad really.

It has "Thread / Thread Starter" and "Last Post" (time/date and poster) and unread are bold just like the forum index.
