I like it:p

Minor critique here...Can this be set to search specific boards,not the entireity of boards.ie?
Second ..Can it be set a bit more precise to search a keyword?
IE was looking for Shepard rifle scope for sale...Over 600 hits on threads that featured the word Scope and for sale.:eek:
Tried Shepard..150 hits from farming and agriculture:)
Tried shepard scope..Get my own thread.:(
Maybe I'm doing it wrong,but I feel it needs a slight tweaking.:cool:

I like it and find it much more user friendly than the previous version. Well done.

0verblood · 13-03-2011 5:52pm

It's horrible, the old one is much better. Much more customizable. Also, it's very innacurate if you search for a username.

Love it...:D

peteclarke · 13-03-2011 7:30pm

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I can't find anything I want. Bring back the old search please

Searching for a pipe returns a 503 error...

I like it but it lacks the advanced searches that are available in the other search page. ie. being able to specify what the posters username is, whether to display by thread or post.

Galen · 14-03-2011 2:16pm

Good work lads.

Martty81 · 14-03-2011 3:53pm

I just did a search for Galway Book club and Book Club - Galway (the title of the thread) and it didn't return the page in any of the search responses on the first page. That's particularly poor if you consider the amount of posts, views and the length of time the thread has been in use.

Some more work to do, I think!

Two thumbs up folks. Thanks for organising it.

snakebite80 · 16-03-2011 3:05pm

search facility - 0/10. posted earlier today, received a reply. searched for my original post '0', so sorry, either my comment was too close to the bone, too unbelievable to be on 'boards' or, the seárch function is having problems. Shouldn't be too difficult to find out of the 2 posts I have actually made........ pity

A little off topic but if you click on your own username beside your post you can see all your previous posts.

teepee · 16-03-2011 9:56pm

hi ,
Any way of setting your favorite forms rather than searching all the time you want to fine it

MIKEKC · 16-03-2011 11:23pm

Excellent very easy to follow

batman2000 · 18-03-2011 11:21am

If I click, get search results, there seems to be no link to get back to www.boards.ie homepage ?? or am I missing something??

Kildaregirl · 18-03-2011 2:58pm

oh good I think it will be brilliant, thanks..:)

amen · 18-03-2011 7:16pm

It is slow.

How are the results ordered ?
I would have expected they would be ordered by newest post first and oldest last. ( I realise there is a newest first link but the results still don't look correct based on best result)

try searching for sql
