I did a title search using the words “Noah's flood” before posting this article and found nothing. I was told long ago (by a mod) not to do title searches using the entire title, but to use only key words so that any article on the same subject with a similar title would show. The purpose of using key words was to limit repeat articles where one or more words may have been changed.

But it appears that this does method no longer works. Currently if I do a title search using the word “Noah” none of these three articles show, but two from last month do. Use the word “flood” and the previous two show, but this one does not.

With the new software, be sure to check the pull-down on a search, that it is set to “title.” The default is “keyword.”

You’re right, the search is (at best) a bit iffy. I only found all three of ‘em because I got pinged to ‘em. Usually (not always) Google works best to find even brand new topics. I’ve posted a topic, then thought, maybe I should have checked first, and the topmost hit was the topic I just posted. Too bad that company is run by leftist goons who should be marched out and forced to use really old hardwired routers.
