A2K search function has failed me 100% for a decade.
When I tried some key words my old threads. For example, I searched "Christians all too often come across as arrogant," A2K would showed no result. But when I put it in Google and click to search, the particular thread of mine in able2know would jump to front and anything was okay!
The question is: How to Use A2K Search Properly?
@oristarA,
I can't answer your question because the search engine works for me ... part of the time. Probably more then 50 or 60% of the time, I get the thread I'm looking for.
The strange thing is ... I believe that Google is the foundation for the site specific search engine.
@oristarA,
the search function will be
revamped someday.
in the meantime, using google is the best way to search for a post -- that's how i found this Robert post from 2008...
@tsarstepan,

it is, but for some strange reason it doesn't work as well as straight googling...
I'm fairly successful at searching with the small Search word up in the right hand corner - the search that involves google. The biggest problem I have is remembering quite specifically what I am searching for and adding the right words. I haven't resorted to google as such in at least a year, but I'll agree it probably is better.
I use the bigger search window on the New Pages page to find whole categories, for example, dogs.
