Does MR delete entire threads?

[seadragon]

There was a thread in the M1 Mac forum the had the title “I returned my MAXED out M1“ or something like that. I replied to it but now the entire thread appear to be gone?

Here is the thread.

Returned My MAXED Out MacBook Air and Saved around $500

After having multiple notorious purple screen crashes on my 16gb version of M1 MacBook Air, I decided to return it for the base Silver model, and am very happy with it! It runs equally as well, if not smoother, with all my softwares, Safari tabs open. I have Google Drive and iCloud services...

Thanks Robert.

Strange though, when I searched for the word “maxed“ in title only search, it did not show in the results.

I used 'I returned my maxed out Mac.'

As I understand things, the site Search will search for the root word, which is max in this case. I think it's also supposed to search for an exact match if you put the word in quotes, like "maxed", but I also vaguely recall reading something in a thread here about that not working entirely right.

It's possible that the thread you were looking for was in the search results, but much farther down in the results. When I searched for "maxed" in titles only, it showed 25 pages of results, and the thread you wanted was on page 6. Many of the titles had the word "max" in them, not "maxed", so it's plain that search is not treating "maxed" as a request for an exact match.

Anyway, you can add additional words to narrow the search, and I've found that works more reliably than quoting the search term. For example, I searched for max out in titles, and the thread you wanted appeared as the top result.

Thanks for this. 👍
