InTheWayBoy Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Now we all know we here at MSFN are so quick to blast someone who doesn't search first...and I agree in many cases. However, there are some issues with the search function here that prevent effective searching. For instance, I was replying to a post about RIS servers, and found that you can't search for just "RIS". This kinda makes it hard to find info about. I understand the load issues with allowing such a simple search term, but that makes it a little un-fair to people who get flamed for not searching. Any suggestions?
prathapml Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 I dont know a sure-fire solution, but the google toolbar (just above the forum name) is able to find even 3 letter keywords...
InTheWayBoy Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 Well it sure does...nice! Is the search results just as good as the forum's search results?
prathapml Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Nope, its not as good.Mainly because it cannot possibly offer the level of fine-tuning that the forum's own search function offers. Oh well.... U win some & lose some!
InTheWayBoy Posted September 5, 2005 Author Posted September 5, 2005 That's kinda what I figured...but like you say, can't win em all...thanx!
prathapml Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 wow, thanks xper! I just hope ppl will use it properly, since otherwise the server might get over-loaded.
InTheWayBoy Posted September 9, 2005 Author Posted September 9, 2005 That is awesome...the search results are soo much better now. Thanx again!
Vadikan Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Nice addition thanks. It's much more convinient than Google with something like unattended intitle:RIS forums site:msfn.org=)
