Try this?

Here is a link that might be useful: Google results of every kitchen thread with word

Maybe you had a typo? :-)

In the search box at the top of the page, when I search for "alterit" I get no matches.

In the bottom search box, when I search the kitchen forum, I get 7 matches. When I search the entire site, I get 23 matches.

HTH!

Always use the search box on the bottom of the page rather than the top!

One further note: Threads drop off the Forum list about 6-8 weeks after the last post. So, if you have a thread that no one's posted to in the past couple of months, it will most likely have rolled off the Forum list and no longer be found when you do a search. Sometimes, a Google search will find an old thread, but there's no guarantee and, in my experience, you usually don't find them. However, IF you bookmarked the thread and it had at least one post after November/December 2007, you will probably be able to bring it up via the bookmark.

[Posting to a thread after it's dropped of will not get it back on the list, but the later post(s) will show up if anyone links to the thread directly.]

BTW...the 6-8 weeks is an estimate. It depends on how active the Forum is. In the case of Kitchens, we have 67 pages to the thread list...but if you look at that page you'll notice that the "oldest" post date/time right now (as I type) is Fri, Dec 5, 08 at 16:03

Thanks i will try the other boxes!

I'd never realized that there was anywhere to post search terms other than the top 'search'. So this was helpful to me, as well. Thanks for the info!
