   The comment just seemed a little harsh for something that is free. That's all. I have used the search A LOT and it has never failed me.Josh

   I don't believe there were jointers around at the beginning of time -- only hand planes, ergo no hits.

              I am sure people have been smoking joints for ever, it probably wasn't an apple that caused all the hooha.

   Since the neanderthal discovered the wheel well after fire, it wouldn't have mattered anyway.  No way in hell they would have been able to ROLL a joint!

   "Pity the poor Neanderthal who discovered the joint before he discovered fire. That could drive one to extinction."So that's what caused Neanderthals to die out. They probably had to light joints by standing outside in a thunderstorm. ;)

   Sheesh, I totally overlooked that!  ROFL!!  Actually, I think I know what was wrong.  As I went about manually looking for the thread, which was my own Inca saw thread, I noticed that the High Priority "thumb up" icon was missing from a bunch of threads I knew I'd posted in.  This has happened before, where the indexing that makes that happen fell flat on it's face.  Since I had checked "only threads to/from me" perhaps that's involved somehow.  Who knows.

   I found the thread, hope the search is fixed.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)

   Hey Forestgirl. Long time no talk. I just tried the Forum search on my machine and it appears to be working. I suspect it was a short outage last night. Just to clarify,

   Forum search belongs to Prospero, the company that hosts our forums. The FineWoodworking.com site search is a seperate animal and is working fine.
