I am on the mobile version so I can't search, but what I normally try to find is the OMNI exercise blog. I tried last night with quotes and without quotes - no dice.

Is there anything I might possibly be doing different from you in terms of using the Search function?...

So what's up w/ the new search function. I just tried searching for a thread in the Marriott forum that I started within the last month, but didn't want to have to go through multiple pages to find it. Not only did it not bring it up, it brought up a gazillion other threads I had posted on. That's not really that helpful.
Cheers.

And on the other hand, I did a Search of a 20+ page thread in the UA Forum on RCC rate increase for the word "automatic" and only one post was returned ... and the word was not highlighted in red (as I recall search words were in the past).

Searching for " ISP " and just ISP without the quotes comes up with nothing...I am sure someone probably reported problems with 3 letter codes, but I am just adding on in case they didn't.

Does IBB even have a QA team?
The issues that we have been encountering with search and logging (having to tick the remember box again this morning) are more than embarrassing. They have turned into a farce of web site.

I can't search OMNI or OMNI-PR. Sorry if this post is repetitive of information contained in the previous umpty-ump pages of this thread, I just don't have time to slog through it all.

For the moment being, without login, you can't search OMNI & /PR using IB Search. I'd reported this on 2/24/09, right after the "relaunch" of the updated search spiced with new wave of problems.
If you like, you can see how the IB Terms responded and addressed these issues here & here.
ps. Google is your best friend if you want to search OMNI. Google delivers 100% of the time.

I am so damn sick of search.
I wanted to find a post of mine to reply to a question on the UA Forum. So I did a search and my most recent UA post is June 22, 2008. I have posted today and definitely within the past week.
This is just a fiasco. It is absolute incompetence. When many are worried about losing their jobs due to the economy we would be fired for a performance like this.

FT search is really, really, really worthless.
I did a search in Trip Reports for Buenos Aires Intercontinental and I got threads about flying to India and Hong Kong. The threads did not have *any* of the three search words in them.
Something is seriously wrong with the search. Using google is the only solution that I can find. They have indexed this site correctly; IB has not.
