I noticed you guys went to the custom google search thing awhile back, which was good because the original one was starting to crap out; I would search for specific lines from some of my old posts and it would return no results.
Unfortunately now the new one's doing it too now. I noticed it the same time both ways; searching for my dissertation on the how you could ever possibly build a ship that giggles at being hit by multi-kiloton weapons. The most memorable line from that one was: "armored box" concept
Entering the phrase "armored box" (with or without quotations) into the search box does not turn up the post I am looking for as a result. In fact, it doesn't turn up any posts with that particular phrase, which I've used more than once. (Maybe it'll turn up this one.)
I also, for a lark, just decided to try and find another of my posts (my dissertation about Shivan tactics and why they're not beatable currently) via the phrase: Shivan advantage, however, is summed up by a quote
That didn't get anything either. The full sentence is "The main Shivan advantage, however, is summed up by a quote from Clauswitz." The original post is
here. The only result returned by the search is the Shivan Manifesto.
The sad thing is, this actually used to work, as I know I looked it up "armored box" once before with the new search thing as a test of it. Have we run into some deep, dark limitation of the search engines? Do they slowly forget over time?
