Is LQ Google Search not returning proper results?


Jeremy,

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to help someone in
a thread, and have entered his error message in the LQ Google Search
ldconfig: Cannot lstat /usr/lib/libstunnel.so: Permission denied
and it returns "Searchresults - 0 Hits Found" but I am posting in the
thread with that text. Even if there are no other threads with that
string, I would at least expect that one to show up, or does it only
query the subject?

What am I doing wrong, root?

Thanks.

The Google search does query the whole thread. However, since it is searching the Google database and not ours, there is no way to guarantee that any particular thread has been indexed by Google.

Thanks, Jeremy. In the past when I've search that way I have always
got a hit on Google of the particular thread. Just tried again and it still
doesn't return any hits - neither on Google itself.
