UPDATE: I am an idiot, so if you don't want to spend time reading about that, skip this post. I'm going to post it anyway because writing it took like fifteen minutes of screwing around, and maybe there are other idiots out there that this could save fifteen minutes.

Note: I'd normally put this in the saloon, but people tend to like search-related discussion so figured I'd make an actual post of it.

I'm getting ready to do another experiment and I've been trying to unearth some old posts and comments that I made. I remember saying a particular thing about "belief" so I tried to search for that:

Not there. But I'm positive I've talked about belief way more than that! And sure enough, in this book club post, and a bunch of times in this one, also this one, etc.

I can't figure out why the search results are returning what they're returning ...

and I just figured it out. Jesus, I initiated the search in the ~meta sub, so it was filtering on that. Damn it. Which makes sense in retrospect.

Don't do drugs, kids.
