> What Lar has found, I also did, as I had previously been searching very effectively on poster's names and topics..like tumeric (for example) and reading thru the back pages of this board for topics that interferes me in this method.Sorry, I'm a little confused. One issue is that we may be referring to different kinds of Google searches. The usual Google search is when you go to the Google home page:
and do a search. But when I refer to "Google Search" as opposed to "Psycho-Babble Search", I mean the built-in links right here.
Searching from the Google home page searches the whole web. Using "Google Search" here searches only dr-bob.org (unless you select "www").
Are you saying that PB used to show up higher when you searched from the Google home page for "tumeric"? It still shows up high when you search from there for "Effexor" or "Lexapro"...
Or are you saying that using Google Search here doesn't turn up as many posts as it should? When I put in "tumeric", I get "about 77" posts, did it used to turn up more?
