Hmm, it works Ok for me - at least, when using the "Search for" box at the foot of any thread:

Edit: and the more general Google-powered search dialog at the top of any WP page.

Thanks for trying to help. Top one useless. Tried one at the bottom .'functioning','aphantasia' and 'intelligence' - no matches. Also useless

I searched for functioning using the top search box and got "About 3,110 results (0.36 seconds)", spread over ten pages - each page is selectable.

Sorry, I should have been clearer - using the one at the bottom will search the current thread and returned, before this post was made, one instance of functioning: yours.

I've noticed that sometimes WP searches don't work for me the first time. If I wait a few seconds and retry/retransmit the request it might work. (Sometimes it might take several attempts.) I just assume that some box somewhere is too busy to do something just that moment.

Or, in a Google search bar, enter: site:wrongplanet.net topic of search to have it search only in the named site.

As in: site:wrongplanet.net functioning or site:wrongplanet.net "something literal in quotes"
...which is, I think, what the search bar at the top of each page does.
