Specter

I search for "LSX", nothing... So I tried it a few more times and nothing. Then I searched for "corvette" and got tons of results as expected. Then I searched for LS1 and I got nothing which seems like a boldface lie, I know I have seen that word somwhere on the forums . All searches were performed on all forums and all text... What gives?

I think the search feature works and is indexed on words 4 letters or more.

I understand the need for indexing the DB, but losing my Z06 search is a killer! Any plans for changing the 4 character minimum search?

MrWhan

I doubt it with 7 "the", "but" "any" words in just 2 sentences. The index would be huge and search slower.

Forget the forum search function. Use Google instead. For example, for your LSX search, enter LSX site:corvetteforum.com. This will return about 784 hits on the term LSX and will limit the search to only corvetteforum.com.

Going back to google is a real pain and you can't search subforums as far as I'm aware. When was this change made??

This is a major issue IMO.

We're looking at installing a better search engine. Stay tuned

I miss my morning routine search for "TLH"
There are a few other 3 letter searches I miss as well. This stinks.

MrWhan

According to the announcement, I believe they were supposed to have updated the search last evening.

Dam, you're good today ! 2 for 2 solved
(announcement ??)

MrWhan

There was an announcement last week about an outage last night. It is gone now.
