Googling for ~ cjrosaphile "posted by" site:gardenweb.com ~ gives me about 90 ghits. With a gardenweb search I get only 9. I asked a similar (Not the same question, a related question.) question here a few months ago. It lingered for a couple of weeks and was removed. Then I went over to computer help and asked the same question and got a "duh" type answer.

Google is really much faster than the search here ever was. In both cases, i.e. Google and the search here, the order in which hits are displayed is somewhat obscure but you can tweak Google e.g. add "roses" to the above search and I get 87 ghits, then add "-climbing" and I get 72 ghits. Furthermore the tweaked searches are almost instantaneous if added to the first search rather than starting over with a new search.

A Google search will not immediately show a result. What I am typing now won't show up for a couple of days, occasionally longer, but then to my knowledge a gardenweb search, even when it was working, as it were, didn't show results immediately either.

Briefly, go to Google and click on advanced search, go down to domain and put in gardenweb.com, then put other search terms in the word or pharase boxes and enter. Tweak the searches by adding or removing words or phrases at the top of the first result page only starting over when it gets to complicated to manage.

Hehe; it's sad when Google (or any other search engine) comes up with more hits than the original website! The search within forums was invaluable. I've complained about this in the past too; it fell on deaf ears. Ah, the good ole days...
