Hi - I can't find a post - looked in Smart Search under poetry 12 and 13 and in "all forums" but it comes up with search not found - so can any one help me - I am looking for my piece titled "Trifles 24/7" but it seems to have disappeared...

Panne...go to "Archives" and then "Open #12"...it will be in the latest 60-70 posts there. (I'm not sure if this link below will get you there.)

Mike, thanks, I found that one - it is the one titled "Trifles 24/7" about 'lapping the litter of the lake' or similar. I don't remember how I posted the subject line and everything I tried comes up "no searches found" and I looked and searched even with 'Smart Search' under "another pantun Trifles 24/7" and every variation on that and still comes up empty handed. I am at a loss as to what to do - I searched Open Poetry 12 and 13 but nada.

If anyone can help, I sure would appreciate it. Thanks again Mike. Panne

Yikes Mike- I found it - thanks a million - I looked and looked - I don't know how you did but thanks. Panne

P.S. I was up half the night looking for this- I wanted to see if there were any more posts that came in to make sure I answered them - then it became a necessity to find it and see how the heck I titled the subject line - and I tried everything but " a 2nd pantun...etc" I would have never come up with last night, if ever. Thanks Mike, for all your help. Panne

Sometimes you can give Smart Search too much information. I'm guessing you left the selection set to "Match all" and entered more than was actually in the thread. I searched for "trifles" alone, marking Main Forums and Archives as the target, and came up with four results. One was the one you were seeking.

Thanks Ron. I started out with just Trifles 24/7 by author Panne415 then Panne then Panne 447 looking in Poetry 13 then in Poetry 12 since I knew it was in one or the other. Then I started adding pantun- another pantun etc. I asked it to match whatever the default was at first, asking it to exclude my replies to posts next- However, I noticed if i keep the replies match (which I did forget last night) that it did come up tonight. Thanks for this information - I will try to remember this in future. Panne
