TR has mentioned in posts in a couple of threads that the search function isn’t working. The problem is being addressed as part of the ‘overhaul’ of the Forum software which is underway and should take a few months.
In the meantime, try this: go directly to Google and enter ‘westseattleblog.com/forum+ants’ which will get you 2,950 hits. Unfortunately, ‘Forum’ appears on every page in the top nav bar, so results aren’t restricted to Forum threads. You can use Google Search Tools to narrow date ranges but it doesn’t seem to sort by ascending or descending dates. note: this doesn’t work with Bing.
You can add more qualifiers; ‘westseattleblog.com/forum+ants+exterminator’ gets you 1,300 hits. If you remember who participated in the thread, you can try entering +name.
Also, the Advanced Search function yielded 0 results for the same queries, which is really odd.
