I was trying to find this post recently, where I’d talked about The Crew:

> I played The Crew (with three players), and Geometric Art (with two players) tonight. Our third player for The Crew was familiar with trick-taking, but didn’t have a lot of experience with modern games (and certainly hadn’t seen a cooperative trick-taking game before), so we flagrantly ignored most of the rules about not communicating during the game as we worked our way through the training missions, and I’m absolutely convinced that was the correct thing to do.

I went to [Profile - Phil - tekeli.li forums, including unofficial SU&SD discussion](https://discussion.tekeli.li/u/phil/activity) and used the “Search posts by @Phil” option in the search widget to filter, but it did not locate that post when I searched for “crew”.

I then tried [Search results for 'crew' - tekeli.li forums, including unofficial SU&SD discussion](https://discussion.tekeli.li/search?q=crew) and also didn’t locate the post.

At this point I was thinking it must have been something I posted at the old SUSD forums, but I tried searching directly in the [Recent Boardgames (Your Last Played Game Volume 2)](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/recent-boardgames-your-last-played-game-volume-2/399) thread using the “Search this topic” option, thinking that was the most likely thread, and… it found it!

Something seems very awry here.

I wonder whether it’s finding just the first matching post per thread, because when I replicate your profile search one of the results is a reference to an earlier post by you, mentioning The Crew, in that same thread.

Can’t account for it not showing up in your second search.

Definitely looks like a bug in search.
