In one, I complained about the myriad shortcomings of the Ipads that my company has inflicted upon its field employees. A search for "orrex" and "ipad" or "ipads" yields nothing.

In another, I posted a pun involving magnetic ore, but a search for "orrex" and "magnetic" likewise comes up empty.

Weird.
