Have you noticed something wrong with Fluther search?

If you already made a post on a Fluther thread and you want to copy what you wrote and paste it elsewhere, you can look in your answered questions as well which you can access from your profile. Or is this something someone else posted on a thread?

It’s too late for me to edit, but I think I found your quip. I sent you a PM.

@Allie that can be quite annoying going through all your previous answers though.

I dont think the fluther search engine ever really worked…..

I have found the fluther search function to be practically useless.

Thanks @Allie, how did you find that. There’s actually a few of them, and I’d like to compare notes.

@uberbatman Yes, quite annoying. I wish I could limit the search to a particular user too, either myself, or someone else.

@YARNLADY It used to work quite well, for me at least. I noticed a big drop in usability after the last big fluther update.

And it’s especially odd that it doesn’t work efficiently, yet somehow thinks to know what I’m interested in for new questions.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies I copied a part of the quote and went through your answers pages CTRL+F’ing it. Found it somewhere between page 30 and 40. It took about 2 minutes.

@Allie its still annoying to have to do that at all.

It helps to use the actual Google and not the search here. It is the third hit here

Make sure you use Site:fluther.com in your query.

Thanks y’all. I hope I never have to search for this post.

@johnpowell Gosh! You’re such a one-upper.

I have entered “Pets and second hand smoking” the actual question was “Pets and passive smoking”. I don’t know if it should have come up, but it didn’t.
