Because WP has been dull and inactive lately, I've been looking through old threads of mine that I posted like 8 years ago. I'm trying to search for a particular thread I'd made about a meltdown I had one time, but no matter how many key words I know was in the thread I type in, it just doesn't come up with the right results. I even put in my username in the search bar too, but still no luck. I can't remember the exact year I posted it, but I know it was between 2010 and 2013, and I assume it was in the Haven, as I used to spend a lot of time posting in the Haven when I was going through severe depression.

I've used the search page where you can narrow down your search but even that doesn't find me the results I want. It's so frustrating. I want to be on WP but because there's nothing new to look at other than s**t in the PPR where I know better to keep away from, I thought I'd be nostalgic and look at old threads written by the old depressed me.

Is there anything I could type to help the search find better results? Typing the year something was posted seems to just confuse the search feature.

I have never had luck with that search engine,it's likely a needle in a haystack being 8 years old,I doubt you will find our thread.

I've tried doing it the hard way, which is looking at every page in the Haven between 2010 and 2013 but I still can't seem to find it (I lost focus so I didn't look at every page by the way). Like you said, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Thank you, but that wasn't the one I was looking for (although you weren't to know, you were only being helpful :) ).

The thread I was looking for is a thread about a meltdown I had and my mum hit me. But I can't remember how I worded the title.
