Is the search function broken? The last several times I have tried to search on something it comes up empty. Last search was for the Corinthian snap in carpet group buy.

It worked for me....search for *corinth*
useing the stars lightens the perfection required for a match e.g. *rpm* yields rpm; rpms; rpm's;
sometimes taking a starred short version of the word helps pick up threads with mispelled words.

I am always surprised at the number of people complaining about the search on this site. I have never had any trouble with it at all. Can you give me the specifics of what you're doing when you try to use the search and come up empty? I would love to know what people are doing to come up with no results.

I just ran a search for corinthian and found seven results.
I don't think a lot of people are used to including the AND and OR when searching for multiple terms.

I usually just do a Google domain search.

I usually just do a Google domain search.
ditto - just add +site:planetnautique.com
and I have found posts that would not show using the PN search.
I also like the text only pages like
http://www.planetnautique.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=printview&t=16257&sta rt=0
I wonder if Jeff will tell us how to get a list of recent posts in this format so I can load them faster on my blackberry.
