Hello,

Having just looked at some posts to the Palaeontology forum and read Greg Laden's paper outline and the replies to it, I tested the search function by having it search for "axes," a word that came up in one of the replies.  The search did not come up with any results.

A search for "Turkana," however, did turn up hits, as expected.  It seems as though the search feature looks only at the first message in a thread, and not at replies.

Is this intended, and is it possible to expand the search function to include replies?  I don't recall seeing an option for that among the parameters one can set for the search.

Thanks,
your friendly neighborhood lurking librarian,
