Dr Bob,
I found that shortly after the discussion on here about search engines (around 17th October) that the google search engine no longer worked effectively on this site.
Before then, if anything, I was concerned that a search on google usually brought up a no of posts prominently from this board on the first page. As you say, it's how many, including me, found this board.
Since then the posts from this board do not seem to come up as prominently.
What Lar has found, I also did, as I had previously been searching very effectively on poster's names and topics..like tumeric (for example) and reading thru the back pages of this board for topics that interferes me in this method.
I found since a few days ago, I could no longer do so. In fact, I couldn't even find my own posts or links I had used within my posts without tediously going through each thread also.
It helps when people ask for links and it was so acessible before.
I suspect it is a problem with the google search engine. I'd be tempted to bet they changed something in their software recently? Hope it is fixed soon if ths is the problem.Jan
