Playing around a bit further, it looks to me that the google search is returning very patchy results too ... the example I used works fine but loads of others don't (some being very old posts, some being very new, so no apparent pattern). It does look like it will find any text in this area of the forum (announcements & queries) but not in most others ...
Maybe Ronald has - by accident or design - exluded large parts of the forum from being indexed by google (rather than just the Circolo di Conversazione, which I know is purposely excluded). Over to Ronald ....

Yes I didn't have much more luck with Google than you. I am trying to find a thread called "a tale of two communes" or similar, to show a friend who is having trouble with her commne ASUL and searching with only one of the kewords give hundreds of results. There doesn't seem to be a way of refining the results.
Most frustrating when there is such a treasure trove of info on this site
