    Every time I've done a search, it only appears to bring results from the old forim messages that were transferred over.
    I can never seem to find any results, using SEARCH, with recent messages.
    All Search results are from 2010 Dec - when forums went down, and earlier.
    .
    EXAMPLE: I did a search for Spagheti Squash, which i know I entered a messae and replies to, recently.
    YET, the search produced ALL results from Nov 2010 and earlier.
    .
    I thought about the results being incorrectly listed in oldest first order as the default; but that is not the case.
    AND while you are FIXING the search, why not provide a way to sort the search results?
    Like by DATE, or by AUTHOR, or by FORUM, as options?

    Hi Bozena and John

    I did a search for "spaghetti" and got 10 pages going right back to 2003. Not sure what is going on with the "Page no found" .....

    YES, "Spaghetti" had two "tt's when I did the search,
    just fat fingered typing when I entered the message.

    I did a search for spaghetti squash and got 20 pages of results, the most recent post is from December 2010.

    Since you brought it up, I think it would also be nice to search posts by user, as we used to be able to do.

    Which search did you use? If I use the one at the very top of the window I get "Page not found"

    I used the one just to the right of the posts in black - the line that says " Forums My Profile Search Members"

    The Search by User option is still there. I just used it and it works fine.

    oh DUH! I didn't see the blank "search by user" space. I believe that in the old forums, one had to enter the search user in the other field, where the "search by topic" options are given. I guess when I tried it and didn't see the "search by user" option listed there, I must have given up on it.

    Well, wouldn't it make sense for all of the options to be in one spot? Hmmm...
