Why is the search facility so useless?

Because grasnet want it useless.

Either because it would cost to update, or they dont want rows caused by people searching.
Probably the first one, but it could be both.

Sorry you cant find Hinkley Point. I would offer to try and help find it, but I have huge trouble finding what I want on search too.

Someone has said before that if you google what you are looking for, it is easier.
Not sure if that is true or not.

Thanks Obieone. Just tried that. Only a Mumsnet thread came up.

I got some results by spelling it Hinckley.

I seem to remember previous problems with the 'search' button obieone??

Unless I am specifically looking for something on GN I would always use Google.

Any use?

Thanks DB, but I thought there was a longer thread than that. Was going to revive it in view of current happenings. CBA now The moment has passed.
