I noticed that lately, (today is July 23, 2006) the AB search engine is much more effective than it's been in the past. I tested it yesterday with a phrase from an 18 month old answer. Sure enough, the search engine provided a link to that particular answer, which was a first. The improvement seems to be on answer searches (just as the search box notes) - and not key words within questions. I'm sure that's on the ABag To-Do list, though. The staff always has a bunch of those irons in the proverbial fire.

All I can say is I found until about 10 to 15 days ago, whenever I enter a question in the search engine it was insanely good. Now even if I enter it word for word, except for one question, it "no result"

I have no problem with it. I think you need to give it in a phrase, and not random words joined together.

I've got about 2 minutes left on my break, not enough time to post a question. Could you do me a favor and just post any answer for this?

Ever answer a question, and hit "post", but something went wrong, and it deleted your answer ? Coincidence? I don't try again.

Why are my questions so lame, that they only relate food and school?

Have y'all noticed that the questions generating the most responses are "religion related?" Why is that?
