DEAR DR. GOTT: I am so glad you have your column online, but your “search” function is worthless. I was looking for “restless legs syndrome” and got an article about menopause, so I tried leg cramps. Again, a totally unrelated article. I also searched “ingrown toenail” and got the correct article, but the bottom of it was cut off.
DEAR READER: The search-function difficulties have been an ongoing issue. We are still trying to resolve the issue; however, it is proving difficult. As it stands, everything is up-to-date and should be working, but when testing it out, some searches work and others still do not. It is also important to note that the title does not always contain the topic you are looking for, but the article itself will, so you may need to browse it.
I ask that anyone searching for information and past articles use the “Browse by Topic” option. This has recently been updated and is now easier to use, and topics are more visible. When you click the topic, articles are then displayed by date, so you may have to scroll down the page to find a particular column.
As for the cut-off article, that was likely because of the length of the article. There should have been a blue “more” link at the bottom that would have taken you to the full article.
