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

Since the 'upgrade' the search now searches the whole site rather than just one group.

This is something that is supposed to be being changed sooner rather than later...

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'. :-(

Hello and welcome to the group :)

I notice that you have tried to include a list of symptoms in your profile. In case you are not already aware, there is a comprehensive list of hypothyroid symptoms on our main Thyroid UK website here;
