Thread Name: BS: DigiTrad search question
Subject: DigiTrad search problem
Just an idle query: twice now I've searched for a lyric on the lyric database using what I believed to be the title and come up with no hits. Then it turns out that the song is actually there. The latest was a song I heard my brother sing once, We Be Soldiers Three. I searched on that phrase and got no responses. So I narrowed the search to just "soldiers"; still no responses. A bit difficult to encompass, as I expect there are a few songs around with the word "soldiers" in them. Finally I tried another phrase, "never a penny of money", and got the song I wanted, with the first phrase I searched for as the title. Huh? The first time this happened, I searched on a title (When Joneses' Ale Was New) and got no responses, (as in zero,) so I put up a lyric request thread. I got the lyrics I wanted, along with some fairly condescending instructions to try the lyric database before starting a lyric request thread. Anyone else had a problem like this?
