I typed:
camp summer winter
into the search field. The top hits included:

I'm a bigot, well you hate Black people, racist!
To all you Christian haters...
Anyone seen a dead person in Korea?
Alternative Challenges to Evolutionary Theories of Origins
The Sunkist Lemonade Guy is totally gay.

Obviously, there is either a problem with the search functions or a problem with my search technique.....

Then I got smart and tried
"summer camp" "winter camp"
AND restricted the search to the Job Forum.

That produced...

Would you quit over a beard?
Tell me about your weird kids
Manual for Wonjonims; 'How to Care For Your Foreigner'.

A little better, but still...um...NO THREADS ABOUT TEACHING CAMP.

Wow. Seems like it's searching the users' preferences, not search terms.

Searches only seem to work if you type in one word.

It might be your search technique...

You can see the instructions at the left of the search box.....
You can use AND to define words which must be in the results, OR to define words which may be in the result and NOT to define words which should not be in the result. Use * as a wildcard for partial matches

So your search should have been typed........camp and summer and winter.......

I use Google to search this site sometimes. Type in 'site:eslcafe.com' followed by your search words. You can use the same syntax to search other sites using Google.

e.g. "site:youtube.com korean cuisine"

Thanks eamo, that was much better. It's actually more restrictive than I want. I think logically I want something like

(camp and summer) or (camp and winter)

...but that didn't work. I don't need the thread to about both summer and winter camp; either would suffice

did you wrap your search terms in quotes?

Sometimes that helps.

I tried "summer and camp" but got no results. I think it searches for the whole phrase you when wrap something in quotes.

Sorry if I sound insensitive but reading this made me laugh more than I have all week. (I have the same problems).

Love your wit.
