    Chrome has a feature where it can use the websites search engine for searching a site.

    e.g. type boards.ie and tab. This has worked before, however now it seems Google is not updating the new search arch URL. (note I'm using the new site layout, not sure if that's related).

    Its using: http://www.boards.ie/search/?q=hi

    It should be http://www.boards.ie/search/submit/?query=hi

    To fix this:
    - go to Settings, Manage Search Engine.
    - delete the boards.ie entry
    - make a new search manually: e.g. http://www.boards.ie/search/submit/?query=hi
    - chrome should have picked up the search engine.
    - you can now search boards.ie in a new tab simply by typing "boards.ie<space><query>"

    Yes but that uses Google's index.

    The idea here is to use boards.ie's

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
