And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have a question about the search engine -- are the posts returned in any order, or just randomly? I thought they used to be returned chronologically, but I tried it this morning, and they're all mixed up.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Jess, I think they may be sorted first by thread ID, and then chronologically, so that you'll see all your posts in thread #1 first, in order, then thread #2

But I was only searching one thread at a time.

It turns out I'm wrong. It's chronological if you're only searching by poster, but seemingly random if you include keywords.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Which, maybe, is one of the reasons it's still beta?

Newbie question: search engine? there's a search engine? Where?

As previously stated, it's in beta, which is why there is currently no links to it.

Thank you. It may only be in beta, but it's found me what I spent nearly an hour searching for the other day in seconds. I call that a very useful search engine.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I couldn't either, until Anne posted a post after msbelle's (# 965) and then I could read the whole page just fine, only there was no separating line between msbelle's post (# 964) and Anne's (# 965).

Sorry. I put a t /font at the beginning of my post when I saw that the small type had flowed over into my own. I hope that wasn't too much of a bad thing...

Are you ready to be strong?

SPEAKING of the search engine, I would just like to repeat my request that evenutally we're able to search for words of less than 4 letters. And I'm not just saying that so I can search for my own name! There's also ita's name! And acronyms for stuff! THERE ARE A LOT OF VERY IMPORTANT THREE-LETTER WORDS.
