Thanks. What types of changes were made, if I may ask?

 

Lots.
We fixed all the known bugs in it essentially (I think there was around 10 different items). Save your search preferences to return results by relevance, and give it a try.
Here are some tips:

You can also still use the quotation marks for phrases!

 

Oh. My. Gawd.

On first inspection... ireally seems to work just like in the old days!

Searched using quotes for "Black ZR1" and got GREAT results!!!

Tititively, with apprehensions, I sincerely congratulate you on the accomplishment!

What changed in the plans? Was this revamp the result of something unexpected?

 

And, whatever the case is, thanks again. Did some more searchees and got great results.

Good job, Adrian.

 

Thanks for doing this. It will make everyone's experience more enjoyable and informative.

 

Search function is very much improved! Thanks for the upgrades.

 

In doing our bigger change to search, we discovered some items that we could fix.

 

Well, thank you very much. I really have had no issues since the fix.

 

I miss the old search.

What?! You joined in July, 2007. Do you even remember the "old search?!" You know, the one that went down like every two weeks?! Or, was that sarcasm?

As far as I can tell, this search finds things as well if not better than the "old search." So, the "old search" found things as well but went down every time the wind blew. I'll take this one any day, from what I can see so far.

 

Old search is a relative term. Perhaps I could have said prior search.
The previous search (old to me) seemed like the results were more relevent.
As far as search downtime, I've never experienced that.

I still cant use the search...any one have tips?

 

In the last month, I maintain my opinion that search works as well if not better than ever before.

What are your issues? What keyword are you trying in the Advanced Search Keyword field?

Searching by relevancy still seems to work a tiny bit better for me. To do that, select "relevancy" from the 'Sort Results by" drop down menu under Search Options. It's right below the Keywords field. Searching by forum section helps a lot too, of course.

But, just plain old search normally works fine for me.

Hope that helps.

 

I tried searching "car wont start" with the relevancy option choosed but..I think i figured it out you set the keyword to: search titles only and then set the sort results by:relevancy
