Hi,
Any suggestions on how to search old posts? I go to "search" and have tried both the regular and advanced searches, but seem to have trouble pulling up the correct info. Sometimes (usually when I use "OR" button), I get too many unrelated topics, but other times (usually when I use "AND"), I get none or only a couple, even if I'm sure there are more than that.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Caroline

Caroline, can you give me an example? I'll be happy to try to help.

One thing I've found helpful is to search for a phrase. For instance, if you search for Little People, you'll get a ton of posts with the words "little" and "people" somewhere in them, but not specifically related to FP Little People. However, if you search
Little_People
you will only get posts with that exact phrase.
