search engine question

Sep 15, 2004 9:31PM PDT

I wanted to go back and remind myself what my prior posts were about. But when I search for my user name, I get only the last nine. I wonder if that some kind of limit built into the search engine? grandpaw

Hi, Grandpaw

When using the "advanced" search feature, I have found that I am given the option of "10 results", "20 results" or "All results".

Give "all" a try and see what that gets you.

Also, as Mark said, there should be an option for "next - -" results if there are more listed than the "10" or "20" you chose.

Have a good day,

I'm familiar with that Next feature. I would swear that it didn't appear the first time, provided there was no money involved in my swear. But now it does. And probbly did then. Thanks. grandpaw
