Are you searching the FT website itself (top right corner of page) or the FT Message Board (link under black bar labelled Forums)? |

| no it was definitely the forum search ... i was looking for that weird big/small thread ... searches on combination of like words failed to turn anything up ... then searches on just big or small likewise had no results ... i admit its worked fine since ... witness the decade-old contrail thread resurrection |

ah okay ... it seems those words are on an unsearchable list or something ? eg to find tamyus classic My big ghost story I have taken forever to post thread you cant search it with "big" but you can with almost all the other search terms ...
in that case
can any one help locate the big/small / huge/tiny enormous/minute thread about that weirdass feeling you sometimes get ... it also includes dark masses dangling from very fine threads ... making any sense to anyone ? its kind of a dream feeling thread |

| I clicked the "search for all terms" button then typed in "weird big small", then trawled through a few pages of results until I noticed it. It's an old thread, I note! |

| youre a better man than i ... just checked and searching on all terms for "weird big small" returns the same results as searching for weird only ... so there must be a list of search exclusions as i thought |
