Right. I lost those in the embryonic stage.

mav: I did try "aggies" as well as other terms from that thread. I tried it in all three boxes with no luck whatsoever. There's something about the WS search (insert your own noun here) that works differently from Google and other search facilities that as an old, decrepit non-geek I guess I shall never fathom

the trick to the search here at WS, is that you need to specify when.
Date Range Maximum date range is 5 years.

Eta: Aha thank you
As it turns out, there are two different search pages. One of these pages requires you enter the date range but the other does not. One never knows which one he will get when he clicks on the Search link. I always get the wrong one

Em--to repeat myself, nearly:
Um--a word, just in case there are some people who haven't realized this: the Search in this line About Us | What's New | Search | Site Map | Contact Us is for the Word A Day section.
The Search in this line Control Panel · My Home · Main Index · Search · Active Topics is for this discussion board.
When you use the second one, you should get either that nothing was found, or a list of posts that contain that word or phrase. I've never gotten anything else. I will say that I have never checked the Show a preview of post body with results. option--perhaps that would help?
