[MERGED] New Search Engine

no seriously where is it on here, it has disappeared from the top bar thing

yeah i noticed this when i tried to search for one of my threads O.o

I guess it's to limit bandwith use - half the time this forum is too slow to even show pages as it is.

I know this is a free site and all, but it's been horrible to navigate for a loong time.

Not had a database error for a while, instead it's usually it's the white 'error loading page' screen.

The lag in this forum is just the worst. It's been going on for a quite a while too, what's the deal here?

The deal here is probably cause by all the threads like this stating the blatantly obvious.

We used it to much, causing the forum to time-out

The search is temporarily disabled. We are indexing the site to bring another solution. Yes I know about the lag, yes I've acknolwedged it repeatedly I'll keep you updated as much as I can.

So can't you re-enable the google search option?

OK... is it still being worked on? I mean, if I hit the search button, and use the "advanced search", I now get a short criteria search 'powered by BoardTracker' or some junk. There's nowhere to search for posts by members or anything. Is this intended? Or maybe a placeholder? (god I hope it's a placeholder)

Not to mention, if I try to 'find posts by this member' by clicking on a member name, most notably myself, I get a message telling me I don't have permission to access this page. I'm certainly logged on, so that's not it. It's just not letting me do much of anything.


What's going on??

its intended. we're using board tracker for searches now,

Double post...

I mean, we don't exactly find enjoyment in limiting users' options. Laughing at PMs, sometimes, but not anything that directly affects users.

I would just like some way of clicking in the user panel to view a certain number of my last posts. It will help with keeping track of questions or price checks that we may have, as opposed to having to dig through 12-20 pages to find it. On another note, I'm not sure if it just hasn't been run through the mill yet or not, but the power tracker...doesn't find much.

You can easily find your last posts and last threads. Simply Ctrl + F from the main forum page and type in your name it will find your name in the Who's Online. Click on your name and it pulls up your user profile, you can easily just click on the "Find all posts by -----" and "Find all threads started by ----" from there in your user profile.

You can also subscribe to threads that you are bidding or selling in.

Loralai, the board has not been completely indexed yet Quite a task to index 1.6 million posts.
