Am I the only person who can never use the search facility successfully?

I haven't tried the search facility for ages, but I seem to remember that whether or not it worked for me depended whether I was using the mobile site or the desktop site - can toggle between the two at bottom of page.

Thanks all. I’m using an iPhone. I seem you have ‘given’ my 12 inch iPad Pro to the grandchildren.

It's crap, much like the rest of the site. Especially frustrating is that search results never come up in date order

I wasn’t looking for anything specific just clicked on an old thread from the search facility to show you the message I always get
I m on an iPad too but using the desktop site as I prefer the set up I wonder if that’s the difference Oreo

I think you may have cracked the case BlueBelle and it depends on the tech you’re using.

Working now: its a good point about the dates.

going off topic, but does anyone know how if i can get a black background instead of the white which i find dazzling, esp at night.
i managed to get it on MN but not GN.
(i've turned the brightness down as far as poss).
