Frank Hagan Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 The built-in search doesn't work well with our archived posts (we have over 80,000 posts on the board now). So I have added Google site search to the forums. A search for "Princess 22" or "weekender keel" will now pull up the hundreds of posts pertaining to those topics, even the archived ones. it does have Google ads on it; I haven't priced the ad-free business version yet, but may consider it later. Not sure how much they charge for it. The old search is also still available, just select "Forums" under the "Search" section: Quote
PAR Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Clearly some of us are way better at this than others . . . Quote
Frank Hagan Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 Hmmmm ... the forum software guys gave me some recommendations regarding the standard search routines, and they are still indexing some of the 80,000+ posts, but the search function seems to be working better. I have the Google search app disabled for now. We'll see how it goes. Quote
PAR Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 The search function isn't something I use often, but it's worked for me on the occasions I did. No stress, I'm just a wise ass and screwing with 'ya. Quote
Frank Hagan Posted August 15, 2014 Author Posted August 15, 2014 You know I get wound up over this kind of stuff. i'm sure it matters a lot more to me than it would for "normal" people! The Forums seem to be doing OK with the posts being unarchived. Quote
PAR Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I've been accused of a number of things over the years, but "normal", now that's a new one. Quote
