I am lost. I would like to access a thread for NT spouses. Is there a way to search for that on this site?

Towards the top right of the screen you should see a text entry area with a "Search" button next to it.
Type in the text you'd like to search for, and then click on the button. Your results will depend very much on what you've entered so you may need to tweak that a little to get the best results.
I had it search for something broad like "NT spouses" and it returned several hits on WP, so hopefully what you're looking for will be amongst them.

There's a forum for questions about WP too.

it does not work for me.
i typed "asperger" into the text box, and found no matches.

i wanted to talk about yu55, and i searched for where it was being talked about in utter and instantaneous vain.

also there is a thread which i noticed when i was too busy to contribute called "back in the day", and now i can not find hide nor hair of it.

Might you have some sort of browser add-on which is blocking something?
Searching on "asperger" returns more than 50 pages of results.
Searching on "yu55" returns none.
Searching on "back in the day" also returns more than 50 pages of results.

Just clicking on that link in your post returns more than 50 pages of results here.

I apologize if I am breaking protocol or undermining a moderator. I never use the WP Search bar unless I am looking for a member's profile.

If you type 'site:wrongplanet.net' into a normal Google search bar and do the search, it looks like it gives you the same number of hits, but the total Net search gives the date of the last post so you can see if you need to start a new thread. Necroing is bad etiquette after all.

Unfortunately, it is not sorted by date of last post and is still rather random, so more refining is needed for optimal use.

^^^ speaking for myself, i appreciate knowing new ways of doing stuff, HerrGrimm. so thanks for your input.

i noticed the search has operated differently for the last few days (or perhaps it could be my imagination?). it takes slightly longer to load and looks different as it is loading.

did there used to be google ads at the top? that could be why some people are not getting results at all, perhaps? ok, now i think i'm just guessing. lol.



also, moved this thread from Members Only Discussion to WrongPlanet.net discussion.
