category search

[evertonsue]

why when I put in War of the Worlds in the category search I get 376 results which include questions on 'Messiah 3', Terminator....... etc I only want the subject in hand, I don't want to have to  pick out of 20 pages. Please help?!

We know....for the gazillionth time ED, can't you hold a whip round at the monastery and buy us a real search engine instead of using all those trained ants to run around and fetch things?

I totally agree with you evertonsue!

Also, when you do a category search - typing in specific words, it comes up with so many topics not remotely related to what you're asking for! Still the rest of AB isn't doing too badly at the moment, so we shouldn't grumble!

why was my question edited?

[smudge]

evertonsue - If you look underneath your question - the report this question field has disappeared. I can only assume someone has reported it - but Heaven knows why!

[evertonsue]

God this site is confusing at times!

Hi all,

Improving the search function is on the list of things to do - rest assured! In the meantime we thank you for your patience and being such lovely ABers.

Also, as mentioned before, if the Report function is gone the AB ED has reviewed the post and given it the OK. All respect to smudge, but It does not relate to someone reporting as everyone has the option to report a post that hasn't been reviewed, regardless if it has been reported by another member as a post can be reported multiple times by unique members - meaning the same member cannot report a post more than once.  phew!

ED, I didn't report Sue and cannot see the report post button. Is this because you have checked the post?

[AB Editor]

yep.

[smudge]

Thanks Ed - I thought it seemed odd that evertonsue's thread might have been reported! Now we know there's a more logical reason why - hence the 'Editing'.

[woofgang]

wow logic and order in a chaotic universe.....spooky

you're right woofgang - AB Ed is right up there with Flash Gordon in my estimation.
