Who is Ron and where are these answers hidden? I spent 45 minutes searching threads before I posted, honest!
Thanks for the response. Does anyone own the "Gettin' Ready For Love" 45 who could confirm if it contains the Baby It's Me LP version or the remix? :) Edited by Underground Dub |

Sorry for the "Ron" mixup, Underground Dub; I had a brain spasm between you and "crapfromthepast!" :)

Yeah, I've had that happen too -- been told "We've already answered that question," and then I do another search and I STILL come up with nothing! The search engine of this site is defective. I've mentioned before that the "phrase" search feature absolutely does not come up with phrases... it works the same as the "find all words" search. So if you're searching for the phrase "So Close," it will come up with every thread that has both the words "close" and "so" in it -- which is a LOT. I wish we could get that fixed. |

Underground Dub I just used the search feature to search for the phrase "Ready For Love" under Topic and it found the previous thread referenced by Jim. I also searched for the phrase "The Boss" and found the previous thread referenced by Jim. For some reason I have always had trouble with the apostrophe character with the software used for the database and associated search engine such that when I search for "Gettin' Ready For Love" the search engine did not find that string when I used the search for this phrase under Topic.

The single of Gettin' Ready For Love is the remix found on the 1986 Diana Ross Anthology and the Forever Diana box set.

Pat, can you ask your technician to fix the quote problem in the Search Engine? If it can't be fixed, can you make a note under the search engine that says to not use quotes. For people not interested in Diana Ross single versions, they will not check this thread and will not have this info.

Wow, Pat's right. Any word with an apostrophe will not be found.
I guess what I was saying before about the phrase search not working isn't quite accurate -- it will find whole phrases. But what's irritating is that it not only highlights the phrase in yellow in the results, but highlights every single word from that phrase, individually, that is used anywhere else in the thread. It makes it difficult to spot the phrase you searched for, especially if it's a long thread. Also, if revisions are ever made to the board's search engine, it would be nice if a search will bring up the exact post or at least the page where your results are. I can't count how many times I've looked for info on a song, only to find that it's "somewhere" in a 20-page thread. |

The search engine was not developed by my programmer -- it is a generic package that my programmer purchased and inserted into the shell of his custom developed package so he is not really interested in delving into someone elses program to make changes. I mentioned yesterday that I have had trouble with apostrophe but I have also had problems with quotation marks as Brian pointed out above.
