MV/Liberace!

I've just overcome a major problem that has plagued this forum since its inception in April of 2005:  search.


The search functionality built into this forum software has ALWAYS sucked really hard.  It's now been replaced by a custom Google search of CoastGab.  Yes, it's the power of Google but limited to CoastGab only.  Nice, I know.

thank you, thank you.


the search function sucks.  at least for me.  It doesn't search the parameters the original did, and now when you click on a search link it says "not allowed".

what search term did you type that resulted in the "not allowed" message?  what link did you click on?  i need details.  what specific parameters are you missing from the old interface? 

is anyone else having problems?

I put George Noory Sucks into the search and my computer exploded.

For the last few days I haven't even been able to find the search button. It seems to have just disappeared.

search is broken.  i'm not sure how i'm going to fix it at the moment.

Right now I'm using a combo of post-searching individual members and Googling "coastgab.com" and a solid keyword or member name. Works okay.

i've got themudking on it.  i'll bet he figures out the problem pretty quickly.

The search feature on this site sucks. Not quite George Noory sucking but at this stage Ed Dames would have more luck remote viewing things buried on BellGab.

It's not a deal breaker and I still love BellGab and I'm not demanding a fix but perhaps in the meantime you could offer a service where you spend your spare time searching the site for things that I want. I of course will reimburse you with compliments and farts that I will wave in your general direction.

Use the Google to search just bellgab.com.
Type:  winding down site:bellgab.com
Where you put your search terms first then, site:bellgab.com
You can use Google to search any website using site:TypeWebSiteHere
Link below will show you how.

Thanks for that hint. If I wasn't so lazy I would probably do that. :P

I like my idea of having MV having to manually scour the site on my behalf.
