And a Google site search was also useful for searching for really old stuff, but it doesn't seem to work well at all now
(Was looking for something on here from 2009 a few days ago, and took me ages to find it. Funny thing, I'm sure I used the forum search function to successfully search for the same thing just a few months ago, so that's inconsistent with searches only finding stuff back to mid-2011 or so...)
But that's another reason this is in my view a better version of the forum software than newer versions - this one
won't return search results for the likes of 'taxi', because it's too common. But it
will return around 2,000 results each for both Brighton and Dundee, going back to September 2011 for each.
(For the Brighton search there are a couple of maverick results which are
much older, but again I suspect that's some sort of database/MySQL glitch
)
But in a more modern version of the forum I was using last year, sometimes it would return words like 'Maidenhead', 'Streamline' or 'eschew' on here (say) and state it's too common to find
(Can't recall precisely what I was searching for on the other forum, but it was roughly equivalent to the likes of 'Maidenhead', 'Streamline' or 'eschew' on here - ie words that
have been used, but not anything like as often as words like Brighton or Dundee.)
But, again, I don't know whether that's maybe down to the more modern version of phpBB, or a server thing, or database/MySQL, or whatever
Anyway, better shut up now - too much detail
