searches

How come when I run a search on the poetry boards, I am unable to narrow my results? For example, I will set it to Humorous Poetry and still get a thousand results from all the categories. Or, I will ask for results in ascending order but they still come up in descending order. Why?

So nobody can tell me why the "search options" don't do anything?

smart,

All I can tell you is that the only thing I do not like about this site is the search thingy...it is a thingy not a search engine in my opinion...just a stubborn thingy that does not give what you ask it to give.

I think when a person searches for posts by a particular user then they should be able to get all the posts that person has made in that particular forum...ie the poetry forum and when a person searches for topics by a particular person then they should be able to see all the posts that person started (the threads they started). When I do a search on a person I do not want to see every single post and reply that person has made...all I want to see are all the poems that person has posted and I could care less about the 1000 replies I have to dig through to find the 10 poems they have posted.

I have never liked this search thingy and believe me...if you don't already know it...you are probably the only one who did not know.

good luck in your endeavers
