Are there secrets to the Search function of which I am unaware? Because Lord knows I can’t find what I’m looking for via Search, and am doubtless causing unnecessary board traffic.
Case in point:
I was curious about the Physics phenomenon known as the Biefield-Brown Effect.
Thinking like I would if I searched on any other site, I figured “biefield” would have to be a pretty rare word string on SDMB, and would likely only produce solid hits. I entered “biefield” into the search box, chose all forums, chose any date.
No results.
So I started a thread, only to be told that the topic had been covered numerous times. I searched for “lifter” and found many threads with posts that included the word “biefield” in them.
What should I be doing? Or is there no hope with the current search function?
