Searching the site
« on: Monday 13 September 10 07:31 BST (UK) »
Am I doing something wrong? I have never had any results using the search engine. I have even tried to look up places and people that I have asked questions/had answers about, but the result is always 'noresult' If I want to see if anyone has ever posted anything about , say,Crowhurst, Wheelwright, Framfield etc, what should I do ?   Thanks  John

Not sure what the problem is. I brought up the search page and put the word 'crowhurst' into the 'search for box' then clicked on 'search' button and got 2 pages of results. Try that and see what happens.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
