Help with search function
Can anyone advise me on the search feature? I am trying to find a list of all the things you can wish for. When I search, I get multiple instances of the same thread, which means a lot of extra hits. Is there a way to filter this?

Re: Help with search function
I don't think there's a way to filter. However, make sure to + all your search terms if you're looking for more than one, and you should probably check the box "Show a preview of post body with results" to make it easy to pick out the relevant messages. I hope that's helpful when you do your next search.

Re: Help with search function
Depending on what you're looking for, sometimes you can find things by only searching subject lines, instead of subject and body.

Re: Help with search function
Oh and just so you know, "wishES" may not be the most useful search term..... IIRC, the best thread was titled "complete wish list". Good luck!
