Why can’t I search for a topic?


(Mike W.) #1

I’m trying to find the “what did you NOT Keto today thread” and any search terms, even as simple as the word “not” comes up with nothing. What am i doing wrong?!

Not sure @MiKetoAF, I can find all of the other What did you Keto today threads but nothing is coming up for NOT keto today.

Because you are using the wrong phrase.

It is “what did you not EAT today”

Right you are, @JohnH! I couldn’t call it “keto” because it’s stuff you’re not supposed to eat. :nauseated_face:

Honestly, I too, have found the search feature of this forum software to be a little frustrating.

I’ve had better luck just using Google, with a site specific search, like this:

“what did you not keto today” site:ketogenicforums.com

The what did you not eat thread was the third choice from the top!

Now let’s go see what you didn’t eat, Mike!

I never thought of that! Thank you.


(Mike W.) #6

No wonder I couldn’t find it. Thank you!


(Mike W.) #7

Here’s an example though. Should it not search every instance of the word “not”?


(Running from stupidity) #8

I wonder if it’s because “NOT” is a boolean search modifier?


(Mike W.) #9

I don’t have a clue what you just said, but I think I’m offended…


(John) #10

Or just a common connector word that the search engine will not look for alone?

I can search on “dog” or “cat” and get results. I can search on “and”, “too”, “not”, “the” and I get no results.


(Mike W.) #11

Interesting. So even if I search “ what did you not eat today”, If it has the words “eat today” in it won’t show up.

Or that, too, yeah.


(Doug) #13

Yeah, this is it. The search engine sees so many incidences that it just throws in the towel and says, **** it…

This would not be the first time this has happened, regarding @juice. :grin:
