Search completely messed up. Had to resort to Google, using search language.

inurl:<keyword from forum title, e.g. intercontinental, starwood, etc.) site:flyertalk.com

Yes, normally Search works reasonably well.

But just now, I was in the Hilton HHonors forum, did "Search this Forum," "Advanced," "Titles-only" on the keyword "Moscow".

(I KNOW there are a few threads on the Moscow Hilton in that forum, because I've found them before. And they DO have "Moscow" in the title.)

Tried it a few times, with a few variations -- such as "Search entire posts" instead of "Titles only" -- absolutely NO luck. NO results. :td: :td: :td:

(Will look in the HHonors forum FAQ sticky next for Moscow Hilton, but just wanted report how seriously messed up Search is at the moment.)

I may have identified a legit issue, far in advance. See my posting, today, in Newstand for "Ran Decisions v. Internet Brands"

I surely had missed your thread (and shared your, eh, "(re)sentiment" ;)).

I just hope IB had kept us posted more often in terms of all the tech-front improvements, including this thread.
