The MyLot Search Engine  

Yip, I do but I rarely come up with much. I, actually, did a discussion on this too. So see, the search doesn't work well. One of my responders said it was because people misuse the tag feature and put stupid stuff in there(oopsie) and also use the tags to flame others. So you have in effect a useless tag system. I believe it because I rarely get it to help me, then I post the discussion and similiar discussions are displayed at the bottom of the page.

I have searched for a user, that I KNEW was active, before and had the hardest time finding him. I think it could use some major tweaking, need to get google after it!

I knew that the search bar was there but i don't use it because i find it difficult to find discussions with it. I find it easier by looking in my interests.

I used it once with the old MyLot screen format to search for the first discussion I ever posted, it could not find it. The kicker is at the time I used it, I had only posted one discussion.

Hi Myklj999, Yes I do use this search facility and always whole discussion rather than just a tag search, however I have found in the past I will search for example my daughter is terrified of injections so I thought I would do a post and searched first and the only discussion that came up was about diabetic injections so I posted but once posted it then showed others similar, admitedly very old but still there. 'Be happy instead' if you didn't type it is very strange indeed, but an excellent way of being. Ellie :D

Yes, myklj999, I regularly use the myLot Search Engine. I use it whenever I'm contemplating starting a Discussion and sometimes I use it to search for other Discussions. In my experience, it doesn't work all that well for finding other Discussions. Of course, I've also learned to try a variety of keywords when looking for a Discussion utlizing the myLot Search Engine.

I rarely ever use on site searches, because typically they are very bad. I typically use google to search for whatever I am looking for on a site. It tends to work a lot better than the site searches. If anyone doesn't know how to do that I will happily give a lesson... ;)

yer system is possessd. another "force" is telling you to "be happy" you ought listen ..;nod nod;..

and ya should come join me and a couple others in chat ..;nods again;..

I use it before almost every discussion that I start. Except when I forget and they turn out to be the ones that were set by others a few hours earlier! Then I feel so stupid. I sometimes use it to track down someone that I have heard abut but isn't on my friends list. Mind you, I use it to hunt out friends too because if they are not on the first or last page of the list then it'll take me forever to find them. It's a very useful thing. I also Google stuff and if you stick myLot at the end it will find related discussions.

Oh, that happened to me the other day. I can't remember what it was but I'd swear it was something you said, just part of a sentence from a discussion that appeared in the search bar. I didn't type it and it happened while I was sat with the laptop on my knee so I know nobody else did it

I knew it was there, because I can see, but I don't think I've ever used it and probably won't.

I have a cutting from a plant from a friend in an ice-cream tub on top of my telly. What does that tell you?

Yes ive used the search bar,but not for anything rivetting ,I just typed gardening into it and it gave me some topics,im going to try and type fish into it one day and see what it comes up with.
