h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Like me Mel you are a Brunel Fan but try the search box when in each skin.
Put 'Mel' in the Search h2g2 box when in brunel. Now change the skin from brunel to classic in the address box, put Mel in the search box and we get a new set of results, throwing up two Mels.

Sorry, but I'm too stupid, I can't find anything in classic. The colour makes me blind, so I never use that skin, which means I have no idea how to search/find anything in goo.

Can you post me the two different links so I can see what you mean?

Search in Brunel : http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/Search?searchstring=Mel&searchtype=goosearch&showapproved=1&go.x=17&go.y=9

Search in Classic :http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/Search?searchstring=Mel&dosearch=Search&searchtype=goosearch

Have realised that when in Brunel the search box defaults to searching for 'Edited Entries only '.
Untick the box for fuller search.

If you click on the 'Advanced Search' then you'll get all results.

This is what you get when you search for my name:

Sorry to have made much ado about nothing.

Not in the least! It's nice you dropped by and shared your findings.

I'd never have thought there were differences in the search if you use different skins, so I've learnt something new.

Bel
It helps any search if you get the name right.
What a silly old lurker am I

Old, maybe, but certainly not silly.

If you hadn't confused names, you might never have posted to me, and what a loss that would have been.

Bel, glad to have met you.

We have met before, when you had locked yourself out of your account and created a new one. I tried to help you get your original account back - but I don't expect you to remember it.
