Sorry, just a little frustrated. Got 3 pages of results between 2001 and 2003 for the word "daycare." Something tells me that there have been more recent posts on the topic since then...

Shanabana, I have issues with the MOL "search" too. Sometimes, it gives me error messages, and I've done nothing wrong. There's a quirk in there for sure.

I think you can limit the search with a date scope, right?

I just tried it again, simply putting daycare in the keyword place, and just got 3 pp again. Hmm. The date thing on my computer pulls down to limit it to days, hours or minutes only. It seems to be aimed at searching recent posts.

The search is bad. I'm going to run a re-indexer tonight to see if that helps.

Another trick is to search using Google. Plug into the Google search the following or just click this link:

I have a hard time trying to do a search on a poster. Example: if I want to search for posts by Justmelaura, no matter what I plug in, I get very few if any hits.

Thanks, Dave, that seems to work sometimes. Unfortunately, sometimes I also get the "URL not found" message that way.

Dave, that's a great help in general. Thanks.
