Finding authors in these postings

Brian,

Sorry, I really have no idea why the search doesn't work for you.

As you clearly prefer ... I will leave it at that.

Must be something your end Brian as I can find posts by you, me and posts with mention of Laurie in them using the box on the homepage. 

I did also use the moderators ability to search the member database, the results of which were in my PM. and as I said earlier no member by that name.

Hello Jason and MIchael,

Thank you both again for your valiant efforts, my headache has improved already!

My computer has Fred Flintstone stamped into it, do you think that might be the trouble?

Marker cross erected now. RIP

I'm with Brian also.

The main search method did not work on my Android tablet running Chrome.

Interesting

The HTML snippet looks pretty simple

Out of curiosity, could you please check whether this works: **LINK**

Brian,

I've just entered random names on this forum into my computer and mobile phone and both came up with loads of answers.

Michael, just as an external comparator, your link works for me in SW France, Win7/IE11.

Gosh, I never realised there were so many Brians on here.

Thanks, Dave

That's basically what the search box generates

I wonder why it doesn't work [*] in Android+Chrome

Works OK on my Android phone using Chrome, found posts by some bloke named Gilligan.

Works fine, as does the home page search on Android tablet.

Forgot to mention my phone is an android and it works on mine also.

I've had American lawyers on the phone.

Asking "do I know someone called 'Brian' who has allegedly broken Google..."

Neil

Nice one Neil.

Michael G, yes your link worked and brought up a range of 'Brians'

I have just tried with Brian Wood successfully, how strange. I wonder if uncleared caches or something similar was causing my search to fail earlier.

Thanks for the update, Brian

... I shall sleep more peacefully.
