Yeah, if you look up the thread, I quoted Galadriel there, where she says that Sauron "suspects, but does not know - not yet". The main thing is that he presumably had pretty good idea of who might have had the Ring, but as Rune said, he didn't know for sure. We don't know what he knew about all the mighty elves in that time. He might for example have suspected Glorfindel (who was the one who drove off the Witch-King in the fall of Angmar), Círdan (who after all had Narya in his possession at first), maybe even Thranduil. Also, there was the possibility that Galadriel was first given two of the Rings, then perhaps Celeborn could have the other one? Or Arwen or Celebrían before (if Sauron knew about them), or some other mighty Elf.
