Not sure if this topic is in the right spot, so Huskee please recategorize if needed.
Whenever I try searching for a particular post, I never seem to be able to find what I'm looking for. For example...
Advanced search > keyword "jokes" > search in titles only.
This example returns 0 results. Why doesn't Huskee's Jokes thread show up as a result? I've tried using exact punctuation and capitalization, still no luck.
Th search function can be difficult at times. I have found using your preferred search engine with the search term plus amazing ribs usually brings up what I need.

"Jokes" is not the title of a post. It's the name of a message thread (or channel, if you prefer). Not the same thing ... and not obvious, unfortunately. If you simply enter the word "Jokes" (no quotes) as shown below, you'll get plenty of hits that will guide you there:
BourBonQ - Sure ... don't search in "titles only" ... because the name of a channel or thread is not a "title". It's a "name". When I'm looking for a channel/thread, I don't bother with Advanced Search, instead preferring to use the simple search ... then looking through the results for a reference made to the one I'm looking for.
BourBonQ and RonB You'll be sorry you asked but here goes.
When you start exploring algebraic functions, the first thing you learn is the function of x is equal to y, that is, f(x) = y, stated as 'f of x = y'. It's a way to describe an independent (x) and dependent (y) variable and their relationship, algebraically. At its simplest, it means that the value of the variable y depends on the value of, or is a function of, the variable x when doing the calculation. The simplest form is x=y but the part on the right side of the equal sign can be more complex like f(x) = (3y+9)/2. When you see parabolic graphs, those are the result of a function being calculated for various values of x.
So, I was just riffing on the function thing by saying f(x) = search or where x was what you put in the search box and y is what comes out. Maybe it would have been more appropriate to state it as f(search) = y?
Now, let's tag DaveD to see if I'm even close to being right and nerdy enough for his approval.

Reason: To fix my stupid math errors...I think.
Oh, this is most definitely nerdy enough. And then some! In one sense, it's almost an expression of this thread's title, "Search Function", in math-speak. Although as Wayne wrote it, one would probably say "Function search" rather than "search function"
My nerdly contribution: A function must have exactly one solution for any value of x entered. That is, if the math could give two different y values for a given x, it does not qualify as a function. Gosh!
