Missing discussion - cannot find using search

I'm trying to find a thread from July/August last year. I have a couple of RSS feed records about the thread, but not the whole thing.

Title "Missing HTM" in the Robohelp Webhelp forum.

Contains keywords: "Administrative Rights" "start page"

The thread doesn't show up in my search even though I've checked to ensure "All" is selected for time period.

Any ideas?

    If you know the title is "Missing HTM", you will find it immediately if you just type subject:"Missing HTM" in the search box.

    If Rick is not able to piece things together from the RSS feeds, you might try your same criteria with Google, if you have not done so already. I find that it's far better than the forum Search. With Advanced Search, I can quickly find most of what is in the forum. Only drawback is that if the thread was before the forum changeover, most of that material now brings up a dead link and one just gets the main Adobe forum page. I am getting fewer of the dead links, as the 'bots do their work - just no hits on the searches.

    I hate that so much of that old material has been lost forever, but that's life.

    Good luck,

    There is an issue with Search right now. 3 of 4 nodes are indexed correctly, but the 4th node is not returning any search results

    . (

    Note, just had the phantom cursor jump twice in the same message, using FireFox).

    We're trying to get that index fixed tomorrow (Wednesday).

    Thank you for the report on Search.

    Note, just had the phantom cursor jump twice in the same message, using FireFox).

    Well, I guess that one can start the list: FF & IE - yes. So far, Chrome - no.

    Good luck,
