So I clicked on the 'Search' link, and entered in
gnome bloat

system came back with nothing found.

"That's odd" , I thought.

so tried again , with just
gnome

This returned bunches, including "gnome 3 bloat"

Really  icon8.gif , the system can't match up 'gnome bloat' -> 'gnome 3 bloat' ?!?!

It ain't Google, pal. wink.gif

Seriously, you gotta' be pretty specific when searching with board search engines. Some are better than others. This one here is mediocre. I've learned to just do "scatter gun" searches that give loads of responses and then just sifting through the posts one by one. It ain't efficient, but you eventually find what you're looking for. sad.gif

Yep, Google is a great choice for searching specific to the forums.

I did a search on Google with the following criteria:
CODE
site:forums.scotsnewsletter.com "gnome 3 bloat"


Results came back as follows:

Gnome 3 Bloat - Scot's Newsletter Forums

search really that bad ??? - Scot's Newsletter Forums

etc. and all the balance in the Gnome 3 Bloat topic.
