Why does the search function give me hits for diabetes,India, cancer, fibromyalgia, ulcers, antidepressants and other topics seemingly having nothing to with Thyroid UK? I search for my home town or the word members or medication

It also does NOT find occurrences of words which most definitely do occur within the Thyroid UK community.

A bit of a shame that in the experience of many it is already 'later' rather than 'sooner'. :-(
