Search Function
« on: July 16, 2012, 02:45:38 pm »
Firstly, sorry if this is in the wrong place!

I don't appear to have a search option anymore?
I have used it a few times before. I thought it was in the top banner but could be losing the plot?

Is this due to my low post count???

I tried this link from another thread but all I get is:

I'm sure I read somewhere that Steve P has disabled some of the search functions whilst he is carrying out maintenance to the site :happy2:

mind if i ask the logic behind this?

surely the end product would be new members posting questions that will have been answered before due to not being able to search?

It's a short term change while some work is done on the search indexes.

Ah. I thought it was there when I joined but isn't now! I find the search useful, and saves repeat posts on other things that have been discussed many times before!

Search now available again to all registered members.

Also some changes have been made to the search engine to improve performance and qualitity of the results set.

It will take a couple of days for the search indexes to fully refresh but hopefully this should improve things.
