search not returning results?

[rbarline]

A few weeks ago I posted a question titled "moving auto correct settings to another computer" and there were numerous replies. Today I wanted to find the topic, and so I did a search using the term "auto correct" but the search engine returned zero results. Is there a problem with the search engine?

I don't believe the search feature in the OfficeForMac site is quite up to
effective content searches as yet Try searching using the part of your
login: rbarline. That's how I found the thread.

Thanks. This works. Strange, one would think that Microsoft would know how to build a search engine that actually worked ... :~)

Perhaps they do, but they also contract out a good deal of stuff;-)

Glad you got what you needed!

{Giggle} Microsoft's track record with "search" has been a constant source
of amusement to the rest of the industry

Everyone was astonished when the Vista desktop search worked "well".

As Bob says, Mactopia is a contract job. There are changes planned for the
middle of next week to try to improve the Search result ‹ it's currently
very badly broken.

Cheers

Thanks. This works. Strange, one would think that Microsoft would know how to
