Sometimes I know for sure, that we had a specific older thread, with some very helpful info and posts full of ideas, on a particular subject.
But not knowing the thread title that was used at the time, I put various word possibilities into the Search function we have on this site, and get no listings, or few, and none that I intended.
This often happens on a Health topic, but it might be other sections as well.
The result of the Search, is often, that nothing could be found.
Often it says that my key words were eliminated, because they were too short or too common. Makes sense but I don't know how to find them, then.
For example, I don't know any better words that were in the Thread Title, other than the ones I think of,
such as: Eye Pain from Dryness, or Dry Eye solutions.... etc.....
(The result told me that the word eye
is too short for the Search
)
Any suggestions for how to find older SF threads, better than I have been able?
By the way, I do not have this problem when I use any of the online search engines. I seem to do fine choosing key words to get my goal topics, when I use those, so perhaps there is some hint I am missing, on using the type we have for just our Site.
