On another discussion, I commented on the malfunctioning referral script. This time around, I'll talk about the internal search engine.
The search engine is Yahoo and not an internal one. That said, I'm not sure if Yahoo needs to spider the discussion before it can be found.
I created a discussion on franchising. Two of my tags are Franchise and Philippines. However, when I try to search for it (because I'd like to add the discussion on my blog using the referral script), I can't find it.
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't make it work. Help!!!

You have received the information in the previous responses that will help you find the discussions here.
The search bar does work if we use it properly.
If yu want to find something on the web then you must huighlight 'web'
but if you are searching for a discussion you must highlight 'discussion'.
It will only do what we ask it to do

Thanks for the response guys. It really is a bonus that my thread appeared first under franchise. I guess I'll use that in the referral script.
However, initially I was going for a very specific search. Two of the tags in that discussion (yes, I highlighted discussion) are FRANCHISE and PHILIPPINES. I tried putting in both search strings using both a tag and a full-text search. Still no go.
But for the meantime, I will just use franchise. If you can help me figure out the dual search string issue, that would be well appreciated.
Thanks!
