@dalehileman,
On my computer, which is an antique, there are two places, or maybe more, where you can search. One is on the right in the first dark blue band, Search. I think I remember that it is google related. The other is in the New Posts page (and probably many others, but I use that one). There is a window on the right with the words: search forums.
The Url also has a search window - I don't use that so I'm not sure if it is the same as either of the others.
The one in the dark blue lets you search for sentences or titles or sets of words.
Or it did last time I used it.
On the mods taking you down, if they do, consider trying to speak english.
You are the only person on this website that gives a hoot for your game of minimizing typing strokes for some kind of clever fun.
