the new search (?) blows

Post by evoldeal »

Hey did they change the search when they updated the board?

It seems to really be inferior...

btw i searched for a thread on the new search on the new search but the search came up dry.

Your face blows.

This thread is spectacularly unhelpful.

Please share your exact query string along with a description what you are actually looking to find.

I feel the search works so well that I've found posts that were never even made.

my exact query string: icv swap

I am looking to find threads talking about icv's and swapping them out. I'm trying due diligence in not creating a new thread in 'tech talk' and I'd also like to find relevant information easily.

Did the search function change?

I also find the new search to be quite useless, compared to the old one. I've tried it many times, looking for topics/threads that I know exist, only to give up in frustration.

Hey waynet1, if you follow the link that cek posted for 'old search:" it takes you to google with 'site:www.mye28.com icv swap' entered into the search field.

This may be the way forward (or backward) for now.. go to google, type in: site:www.mye28.com +what you want to search

THANKS AGAIN CEK, I really appreciate it.

Are you using the search box or the advanced search?
