Is there any way to limit searches when using the search box for the Dr-Bob website?
For example if I want to check what someone has said in the past on a subject, to prevent saying something really insensitive or off-base, given their prior experiences, or things in the past that have a bearing on the current issue.--I have a lot of difficulty doing it.
Or if I want to review something I partly remember, or know if my point has already been been raised, and so on.
Search requests (as I do them) yield lists without any priority of relevance, or date. It's often hard to determine if there's anything germaine and to know whether to go further. Also, every post in a thread often appears, which may make sense-- but also is hard to fast forward through.
So I wondered: is there date or relevance ordering?

I hope you're not mad at me by the way.
I identify with you in lots of ways-- you remind me of myself-- when I was in college (I was in college for about twice as long as most people, cause I kept not keeping it together-- so you remind me of the more together times in college).
Maybe I've forgotten how I was then-- I'm so much more apt not to want to rock the boat. After having finally gotten it to be a little more steady.
So I hope I'm not insensitive to you, Alex_k-- cause I do like you and maybe worry that you're veering-- maybe because I veered a bit too much-- and you may not be at all.
I'm sorry if I'm too much on you about various points.

> I hope you're not mad at me by the way.
I was a little pissed. But I think I was pissed at the whole world, truth be told, so it wasn't personal. Doing a bit better today, thanks. Last couple days... I've been waking up early and enjoying a few hours before heading off to work at the usual time. Getting a bit of work done and getting through some pretty strong coffee. Ticking along a lot better :-)
Apparantly people with a tendency to depression tend to sleep too much and people with a tendency to mania tend to sleep too little. I've been doing 6 or 7 hours instead of 9 or 10 hours and I'm actually feeling much better for it.
