Chinesepod lesson search is not working well!

However, when I put suntan lotion, sun, beach, protect, or even fang shai shuang in the "search lessons" or "search glossary" it comes up empty. Come on guys. This search engine has got to be better than this. What am I doing wrong?

April 24, 2009, 01:08 PMHi weixiao, in addition to henning's suggestion, I've found another good way is to search the Glossary instead of Lessons (in the pull-down box).
I entered 晒 into the search box, selected Glossary and came up with the following example sentences. You can then click on the green arrow and it will take you to that sentence's lesson. I've had much better results searching the Glossary instead of the Lessons...and if you're just looking for example sentences, it's perfect.

(I don’t know what kind of sunscreen is the best.)
show up here, but they do in the glossary.

好久不见 :)
After you do your search, you need to choose "expand search" and check everything (vocab, dialogue, ...). "Everything" is exactly what you would expect and what you usually need.
With the described method I found this lesson.
