I would say it works 50% of the time for me.

This is why we have the refresh button. Thank you, Bill Gates, father of all computer technology.


Brutal sarcasm aside, yeah... 50% is about right. I used to think that limiting the scope of the search helped, but that might be wishful thinking on my part. It might just be dumb luck when my searches work, having nothing to do with the scope.

Case,

That doesn't work when you do a search for messages since last logged in. I'd say that lately this fails for me about 3/4 of the time. If I should then try to do it again, the system remembers that I've just accessed it and gives me the messages posted in the last 30 seconds since I ran the (failed) search the first time.

Pretty poor performance for what is a standard search in most message boards. In fact, most message boards I use have a standard "New messages" link.

I use google to search MOL. For example, put this in the google search box:

plumbers site:www.southorangevillage.com

Hope this helps.
