I don;t think search is working right
I recently made a post:
wle review : Cyansky M1R tiny usb-c light
review : Cyansky M1R tiny usb-c light-----------------------------------------==========
+++++++++++++++++++++++++ i like these things ++++++++++
it;s very light and small. this is one of my main light desired-characteristics..
REALLY pocket sized!
==way smaller that it looked, almost same size as a 9v battery
seems very well made.
mine is pretty red, anodized with fancy engraving - no painted-on logos..!
has a uv light, and a bright red led that can also blink
has usb-c charging
co…
if i search for ‘cyansky’, it does not appear
also SIGShooter posted one:
Quick impressions of Cyansky M1R
Here are some quick impressions about a Cyansky M1R that I just won in their GAW.
In no particular order:
The light is physically small as can be seen below. On top of it is an Olight i3E and on the bottom a Ladda AAA battery.
[image]
It is also a bit thinner than the i3E but not significantly so.
[image]
Here are beam shots of the M1R on high and i3E (M1R on the left). The M1R is cooler than the i3E but isn’t unpleasant to look at (as a caveat I prefer neutral tints).

Initially …

oh
good experiment
that would be google though, right?
maybe the site isn;t telling google its contents any more…
( i think the site search is a re-labeled google search anyway)

It would appear that the Threads in the Keychain / “Button” Battery Flashlights topic aren’t being indexed by the search Engine.
Could the quotes (“”) have something to do with that? Inquiring minds want to know.
Never mind, it seems several other threads also don’t show, hmmm.
Yes, it is, but the two different searches usually bring up different results.

also if you search for something common, like LED, and sort by date, it say 01/04/22 is the latest result
that can;t be right!

The posts do appear though if one uses duckduckgo. Using this criteria cyansky wle budgetlightforum I get a hit.

I’ve been testing DDG on a Linux VM and it doesn’t seem any slower than Google. I’m liking it enough to switch over to it on all my machines. The good thing about search engines is that it only takes a minute or so to switch from one to another.

oh - i meant i was surprised that DDG would be indexing them correctly, before google did it
maybe the trouble is, google isn;t crawling budgetlightforum.com any more, to store the results
but DDG is

There’s really nothing to do, it’s just how Google’s (and other search providers) web crawlers work.

so i think you are saying, it takes a few days for stuff to get into the search data base… ?

Given all the web pages out there it probably takes time for the crawlers to get to pages like BLF which don’t get many hits. That’s just my opinion of course and hopefully not totally off-base.
