How find my topic in search?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have created my topic (in 2026 Short Story Challenge) with link to story (on google drive and which I tested 'ok') but cannot find it now when I search using any relevant term. Is there something essential I need to activate somehow or some step(s) likely missing?   Also...what is 'points'??  Aaargh -now I just went to ensure this is 'posted' and it seems to have wound on "X"

	Cam, if you go to the search function (little magnifying glass at top of the page) and then search for member name and toggle “exact match,” your post comes up immediately. Here’s the link to it. You should also add your story to the master list, which will make it easier to find later (there are instructions to do this in the first post under “Short Story 2026 review.” https://forums.nycmidnight.com/r1-gr72-drawing-conclusions-ghost_topic67226_post715597.html?KW=#715597 Trey

	Thank you! The "advanced search" seems to be key too...for instance to pull up the group or topic key word. Got it now.
