Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : phenomenon

I get this message, no matter what word I use or where I use it, in my journal or even broadbased throughout ALC. I never had this problem in years past.

What am I doing wrong?
thanks!

I've noticed that too.

This problem was explained recently in another thread here in the Comments Box section .. Search Function? :idea:

Nothing afaik. I have the same problem. I do run NoScript so maybe that's an issue but I refuse to stop running it.

My solution? I use google. Enter the following phrase into google then use the search functions to pare down the results: "phenomenon site:http://forum.lowcarber.org"

I hope that helps.

Jenny, I've been noticing that, too. It won't search for ANYthing. I think it's broke.

I can't find a recipe I just made. I remember the poster saying her and her friends refer to it as JLSBP (just like stuffed baked potato) (it's a cauliflower casserole.)

So I searched "JLSBP cauliflower casserole". Got that message:
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search.
Hmm, I don't think JLSBP is any of those things... that's pretty specific! lol

Google it is. I forgot about that, I have done that before.

Good, I'm not going crazy. It's really annoying though.

It's a time-consuming process trying to figure out exactly what's wrong before it can be fixed. It will probably be a few more weeks (?) before the webmaster feels confident to turn it back on. Keep an eye on the above-linked thread for any updates :idea:
