Advanced Search by User Name is still not functional though.
Lin - I sincerely ask you to not call this ibsearch.

The username search is simple enough to fix - and we'll fix it ASAP.

Did you guys forget to co-ordinate your versions of the story beforehand?

Did we loose the different sort patterns for search (thread title, relevance, post date, etc.)?

Yay! That's good news. The better news is that it's now finding posts even the most recent posts by a given username.

I try a search for "exercise blog" and I get nothing close. One of the first hits is:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/gamin...plication.html

Which does not contain the word exercise.

What gives?

Make sure that when you are looking for something specific you are using quotes to drill down into the results, kind of like google.

For example, a search for LAX is different than "LAX" with quotes; play around with quotes and see if you are finding the exercise blog results.

Thank you

Never mind. One has to spell "exercise" properly before one can test the system.

Thank you. As I suspected, the fault lay not with the user, but the system.

This does not help - what should it be finding that it is not currently finding.
