please fix search

[bwheatley]

it's been boned for me since before christmas. If you can fix it or give me access so i can fix it that would be wonderful. It's extremely hard to navigate the forums without a search function.

The search function has been useless for years. It's the size of the place.

Actually, such a funktion is not necessary. Using Google with: "your search string" site:http://matrixgames.com/forums/ works as well.

the fact that such a function is not present on a website in 2011 is, to say the least, ridiculous. I don't know what language is being used to program Matrix forums....but it needs updating if something as simple as a search function isn't working.

Granted - it's a low priority - but only if you don't want to/need to use it...a website in 2011 hosting a forum should have a decent search facility

...and i thought it was just me, i don't think it's worked since 2006 when i joined... though what "it's the size of the place" has to do with it i don't know, it just never finds anything...

but, as lutzow shows with the google query, like it or not that's going to be the best way to do a search!

Please fix the search function. A forum that is not searchable for this long is joke.

No ! Don't fix it....I makes this forum "special" .......

That's the spirit. DITTO.

weird for some people it's never worked for me it's always worked until before christmas.

Even Matrix is going to fix this issue sometime (and get rid of the iis/asp crap), the database would be still slower than Google's search engine, as there are more than 1 million postings on this board. I really don't get why you guys deny to use Google with 'filetype:' instead. It's fast, reliable and serves same purpose. [&:]

Nevermind. Jeez....must just be me!
