Not that it really gets used much, but I just had some odd experiences doing
searches from the web interface for lugnet.off-topic.test... I entered my name
to search for it, and no posts were found (despite the fact that I HAVE posted
to off-topic.test)! At the time, the most recent post started with the words
"just testing" so I searched for the word "just". Only 1 post came up, and it
WASN'T the same one! Another recent message had the word "post" in it. I tried
that. No matches came back. Then I went all out and searched for the word
"test"... and only *3* matches were found!!!

Could this have something to do perhaps with the fact that I 'screen out'
messages from lugnet.off-topic.test thanks to the little screening cookie?
Anyway, an oddity :)
