"My posts" search snapped back up to date earlier this week, but now, again, fails to see anything in past 48 hours. Chronic problem obviously.

I can get results for today from search. Is this only occurring within your "My Posts" section? For example, if some of your posts are missing, and you search by a word that is in one of those posts, do you get results? I just want to get as much info as I can before I take this to the search team.

1. When using Quick Links< My Posts:
The latest post was dated 1/14/08 11:47 CST. I did have a couple of more in the last two days. None showed up.
2. I knew I made posts yesterday:
Using Search drop-down menu at the top
> Advance Search
> Key words & my user name
> Show result as Posts
Nothing found to match your search request
Reason: Your search terms were not found

Yes. If search doesn't find anything it just gives a blank screen now 
Also can we please have back the option to find near matches on username and then click on the one we want? It is annoying to have to try multiple permutations of spellings to try and find someone's posts.

Now is 11:15 pm CST. The empty search problem seems to be fixed. At least I can see "My Posts" for now. Not sure how soon the next "empty" episode will be played though. 
Is FT still going through the "growing pain" from the server upgrade? The empty search problems had happened twice during the 1st week of Feb 2009.

I have a lot of FAQ threads that are hopelessly out of date due to search problems, and I am discouraged from starting any new ones.
