Anyone else having trouble with it?

Huh. It doesn't seem to be returning results I would expect to see. With a search for "gay marriage", it returned just one topic. For "anonymous coward", I got nothing (and there should be quite a few of those).

I was looking up one thing in particular and when I switched to other topics/words/phrases, it didn't return results for those either. Hmmm....

Email Keene, I suppose.

I'm having the same problems. I'll email Keene so he can do some testing.

Also, the other day someone said the chat wasn't working properly. I don't know if it is now.

In order to search MDB, go to Google, type the keywords you want to find, and add "site:www.mormondiscussions.com" at the end of your search string. Google will return only results from this website.

I typed in everyone's favorite search criteria, both DCP and Juliann, and got nothing.

For some reason, the search feature won't work if you type in more than one word.

Search for just one word--inconvenient though it may be--and it'll work.

No, it doesn't. I was searching on one word when I realized it wasn't working. I did it again just now and it still didn't return results for the same one word.
