I want to find the Cafe Society thread about Nine (the animated Nine, not the musical Nine, sorry twickster 
)
“Nine” isn’t allowed by the SDMB search, and google gives me pages and pages of irrelevant results. Does anybody remember a longer word in the thread title, or does someone have it in their subscribed threads list?
Wow, that is a tricky thread to find…and I’m a bit of a Google master. Did you post in it? Could just search your own history if so (from your profile page).
This it?
I just went back 22 pages of Cafe Society to September, figuring the thread should still be thereabouts as it was released September 9th.
If it helps, a search for this turned it up as the second hit on Google:
site:boards.straightdope.com “animated movie” nine doll
Oh, thanks a bunch, Red Barchetta! I’ve been thinking about how to find that thread for days, but I never considered the brute force search!
No, I had not posted in the thread yet. I hadn’t even seen it. But the dopers have a thread for every movie, so I knew it would be there! I thought it might be like Schrödinger’s Thread… It only existed when I wasn’t looking for it. 
Yargh, I tried exactly that except sans the quotes and the doll, as I thought that was starting to get too specific…apparently not.
I imagine it’s a lot easier to find what you know what you’re looking for though. I didn’t know whether it was “nine” or “9” or that anyone used the word doll…
