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.

(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.)

Maybe it is finally time to have this website run by a professional internet company. Oh, wait, I thought IB . . .

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