search doesn't always work
I just searched for an item a week or so ago and got what I was looking for but there were so many interesting posts that I didn't have time to read them at one time. So today I searched the same item and couldn't get any hits. I tried a few times and still the search couldn't find anything. What's with that?

The built-in search engine is fickle.

Is there a way to sweet talk it? or apologize to it? or should I cheat on it by using a Google search this site button?

It appears the search tool is semi broken. I've just searched for "iphone gps" "gps" and "iphone" as I posted in a thread about iphones yesterday and wanted to keep up with it. Also, "miyata" in the C&V forums got no hits.
"Ride" and "computer" got hits, strangely enough.
Mods, anything we humble minions can do to help out?

Googling will help too.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Honestly, I google search, something like GPS: Bikeforums.net, or bike tours: bikeforums.net when the search breaks down. Every once in a while, the search engine just decides to develop amnesia and quits indexing, and I have no idea what the event cascade is that triggers it.
