Ok, I need to vent..I wanted the recipe for Peanutty Noodles, so I searched for "peanutty noodles". I came up with lots of articles, but not the one with the title "Peanutty Noodles"!!! What's the problem? does anyone else have this problem?

here's the link I wanted, but didn't come up!!

I searched for "peanut noodle"... and specified that the search be performed in the Archives ... the original post showed up for me.

Weird Board stuff at play, no doubt...

Glad you found it!!

I guess it was the specifying "archives" vs. regular forum, thing that messed me up. I wish we didn't have to look in both places for something. Thanks so much for your help!!

Your alternative to running separate searches would be to scroll upwards in the drop-down menu and specify "Search all open forums and archives," which will search every single bulletin board, one after the other. (This option was added AFTER I typed up the newbie hints.) The only problem is that it's a much slower process.
