Search broken
[edit]Search must be broken because it doesn't return any results, no matter what I try, 'Lovecraft', 'Conan' and 'Robert Howard' fail to return any results, searching has to be done thru Google. Can anyone confirm this?

- Search is working for me I found Despair (Lovecraft) without a problem. Jeepday (talk) 00:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Cryptic instructions
[edit]On doing my first search ever in WikiSource, I got the folowing advice:
- Wikisource recommends that users of this site amend their default search preferences. We recommend that you use the setting
- Redirect mode with subphrase matching (advanced).
- This setting allows searching subpages and redirects for your search term.
However, there are no instructions on how to so this. I don't have a clue. Deisenbe (talk) 11:31, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
