Search Result Thread Doesn't Contain Search Term

I just did a Cafe Society search for the word “Mayday” (the airplane disaster investigation series) and did a within - page search for each of the resulting threads, because it was obvious that most of them were not about that program.

One of the threads was this one: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=514204&highlight=mayday which apparently doesn’t even contain the word “Mayday”.

Any ideas as to why/ how this may be?

Weird. I don’t think I’ve ever had that happen to me, and FWIW I did a search on “mayday” and that thread did not come up.

I even checked to make sure none of the posts were dated 05-01-2009.

:D:D

Thank you for the effort!
I just did another CS search and yes, it did appear again for me.
