Have other people been experiencing problems using Google to find specific threads they have posted to or read?
For the last 12-18 months, I've been using Google to help track down code examples that I've previously read or written.
If I want to find a snippet from a post I participated in earlier this year that shows to open files using Shell, I enter these parameters and 2-3 hits might be returned making it very easy to track down the one I had in mind...
js411 shell site:mrexcel.com
It's been a very effective resource up until about 1-2 months ago.
Since then, many searches have come up empty or missing specific threads that in fact exist matching those search parameters.
Are others experiencing the same, and any ideas as to the cause?
