Just noticed recently I was not getting trf results.

A word on DuckDuckGo

I was using them for a short while. Searched for a common website I have shopped at for years Patagonia clothing. The first hit I got I made a purchase from. I quickly realized it was a cloned chinese website and I had been scammed. I deleted duck and never went back.

Not that I love google but I have never been given a fake website on the first page of google.

Are you getting current results with threads dated as recently as last week?

Or maybe cached archive results from back in August/September?

I just tried duckduckgo for a classifieds search and got accurate results. For now, it still works.

It will be a sad day when the forum bans all the search engines that work and leaves us with the default tool that requires a Phd in stellar navigation to set search parameters that produce relevant results.

There are a number of issues that can impact Google rankings. We are working on remedying problems continually. But improvements or remedies don't usually happen overnight.

I think TRF administration should know what’s going on between TRF and Google Search. It has been going on for a long time already.
To short cut this on your iPhone safari search go to yahoo.com then start search for TRF on yahoo platform. It just need to take another step to get here.

It seems like they already do, as per Steves comment above yours. I guess a fix is in the pipeline.
