Ya this kinda has me wondering. I mean search has had its issues before but its almost always fixed within a matter of hours, this is just silly over a week without a proper search!

And what do you mean by this, that the new search wont have a sorting feature? If so what is the point? I don't want to search for roller rocker tip weight and come up with every for sale thread for the last 5 years where someone has a set for sale!

I agree, I'm new to the forum but have been a member of several others. The search feature on this forum is the worst I've used. I love the site, don't get me wrong, but finding the info you need takes a little more time.

what ive been doing that seems to work ok is I go to google and type in what your looking for and then follow it by ls1tech.com ex: ms3 cam swap ls1tech.com It works a lot better than the search here.

good luck. I'd like to say "hope it gets fixed soon" but its been over a week so thats kinda tough to say.

Anyone else have this problem?

i've had this problem for DAYS. i was hoping it would just get fixed soon.

When searching, use quotes, "cam installation" ; don't just put in keywords. You can also drill down by searching specific forums and thread titles.
