Finding Posts

Am I doing something dumb? Ween searching for posts in this system I enter words from my posts - that I know are in there - and the search keeps coming back with nothing found. I entered the original; I KNOW it is there

Further, I search, as a test, for posts I'm looking at on the screen and using words from their subject line, and it tells me "nothing found!

Is there a way to find posts from an author without starting with a post from that author?

Depends what newsreader you're using. I'm using OE 6 and have found the
search lousy as well. I tend to use Google instead.

Hi, Norm

As Rob says, it depends on the search engine. Another factor is latency.
Some engines cache and search that rather than doing a live search, so the
most recent posts may not show up. Google is the standard until something
better comes along.

Is there any way to find a string representing an object's class, which will work in Internet Explorer 6?

Hi there, I have a website that functions fine locally, but when published to the server it develops a bottleneck during loading some of the pages. Basically what happens is the page loads to about 25% then it freezes for anything from 10 - 40 seconds, before suddenly loading the rest of the page. Of course I understand that this could be down to some code on the page locking the thread or suchlike, but I would like to be able to be...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
