what on earth have they done to the Search function??
 

It seems to take you to a generic group, not the post itself. I spotted it last night, and thought it was some funky iPad thing, but it's not.

There is a thread started by the tech staff on the Help Forum. If I was on my laptop I could post the link but it is harder on my iPad.

Seems an 'improvement' that doesn't improve anything. Just IMO . . .

not another problem with the search feature! Growl.....

No kja, not a 'problem', a 'fix'. This time they did it to us on purpose >)

GROWL! Protest filed. Thanks for clarifying, janisj!

I didn't even KNOW there was a Help Forum. FFS!

not sure what you are talking about, I just did a simple search and it returned links to individual posts. I just typed the word "lucerne" into the search box and got a box of individual post listings.

Christina: the point is one can only do a generic search, no more advanced searches.

Another difficulty is the results are not in chronological order so the return is page after page of info in no discernible order.

Here's the link Janisj mentioned:

Sorry, I take my criticism back as there <b>is</b> an option to sort by date or by relevance. I missed it the first time around.

As the post on the Help forum explains, it's now powered by Google, so you can add as many discriminators as you like, just as you would on Google. It can do an advanced search if you enter your parameters, just in one box instead of a bunch of formatted boxes.

I think I got it wrong. I just wasn't using it properly
