Search Feature Doesn't Work Properly?

I've noticed that when I'm searching for something (e.g., a string of threads that I started to check for replies), it doesn't always work. For instance, when I type in my user name, it doesn't always give me ALL the threads that I started. Instead, I have to go back to search and type in a few key words that are in my thread title ... and THEN it finds it. What's up with that???

We don't know why the search function is acting up. We experienced some down time a few days ago, and Scott could not immediately find the reason. Please be patient while Scott handles this site, his work, and his family. He is wearing many hats lately.

Not a problem.

I've had some issues with the search feature, too. If it ever fails you, you might just want to try a Google site search. By adding "site:macosx.com" into Google's search box , you limit the results to here, and it works pretty well in my experience.
