I have read the search function described at:

You should get this:

   http://news.lugnet.com/?q=brad+justus+%3C10+%3E10

It doesn't see anything posted by Brad himself, so it starts with posts

What I got was stuff from about a year ago.

What URL appeared, and from what area (category) did you initiate the

Is that what it's supposed to do?

I'd have to see the exact URL that you were shown after you clicked the
Search button.


I supposed that if Brad had posted
something, I'd see it -- if he had *not* posted something, I'd get zero
search results back.  No?

No, you'd get things contain the word Brad and the word Justus.


Did I miss an update to the search function and the corresponding
description of it's use?

There's also this, which isn't linked in yet:

None taken.  Thanks for the feedback.
