I searched lounge messages for "artificial intelligence" but am actually just getting random results (even today's messages about "How to use source control" & "DARKNESS")

Not random: Marc Clifton for example has "artificial intelligence" in his signature, so that's probably why they come up.

Ok this kind of makes sense, but why would the message with subject "Wednesday" just below also appear when the search string is "artificial intelligence"? still

Because Marc Clifton wrote the message, so "artificial intelligence" appears in it? Click on it, and you'll see.

Looking for stuff in the signature has been one of my favorite ways to search for messages from specific users.

Ok, so the message posted by Tomz_KV with subject "Wednesday" is appearing because Marc Clifton with string "artificial intelligence" in his signature replied to it!! Right?

How to use source control
18 Apr 2018 by Marc Clifton
NOT. 1. Check out the dev branch. 2. Start working on a new feature 3. You're asked to fix a bug on the same project not related to the feature you're adding. 4. Manually copy the code to somewhere else that you've been working on for the new f

This is dumb.
Signatures should not be part of a post body and should not be searchable.
I'd rather be phishing!

That was my thought too, but this doesn't look like its the case

How else do you expect me to find the posts I'm looking for then?

I don't.
I just roll the dice with Leslie, and hope for the best.

Good, that's a recommended best practice.

I don't much. I usually bookmark worthy threads for later use. I just checked my bookmarks & noticed that 1026 posts there
|
|
|
|
|
So, how do you search your bookmarks?
|
|
|
|
|
Using 'Just My Stuff' & 'My Bookmarks' check-boxes in Search[^]
|

I've never seen those checkboxes. Thanks for the heads up!

I have used those checkboxes for QA section to answer so many questions(repeated ones particularly) in past.

That's because an AI posted those. It wasn't me! Really!!!!

try entering
title:"artificial intelligence" . This will search for messages with the title (subject) with the phase "artificial intelligence" in it.

I would say this gives me better results, thanks.

Are there anymore helpful hints of that kind?
I'm asking for a friend.

It happens on a Wednesday morning at least once a month. When I turn on my laptop, a friendly message shows up:
Working on updates
xx% complete
Don't turn off your computer
If it is a lucky day, I enjoy this message for 30 to 40 minutes. Otherwise, it will be 2 to 3 hours. When it reaches 100% complete, I sigh a relief and then stare at the 100% for another 20 minutes. What a way to start the day.

Strange. Nothing of theat kind happens on my Linux boxes...
Rule #1: If you want to sell something, don't get let your paying customers jump through all kinds of hoops, like licensing or updates. I don't want you to tell me what we are going to do today, I don't want a Mickeysoft account or mail address, I don't give a damn when something has not been activated or a license has gone 'stale'.
It's only the pirates who are spared all this, thickskulls.

But Linux is free. I guess it's true then, that the best things in life are free???

You sure can't beat the ratio between cost and usefulness.
There is also personal freedom. If every company that I ever bought something from now wanted me to marry them...
