You always have google as an option. Just put tigerdroppings.com then the thread title in you search window.

I heartily agree.

And although this would normally go on the Help Board, it's so pressing and pervasive to the whole TD experience that I hope it stays on the Tiger Rant.

Well I sure as shite didn't call for it.

I'm sure there's some good business reason for the Google tie-in, but why not keep the other search options along with the Google link?

Google was indexing the site better/faster than TD could do so internally. Chicken and staff are working on refining the Google option to better suit the needs of the site (it won't be exactly like this forever).

The other search option was too slow and resource-intensive. Give it time, and it will get worked out by the powers that be.

Doc - your sig picture, the Ovation Elite?

I have a black Elite-T and my son has my old Ruby Red Celebrity. Your picture looks like a guitar that is the child of mine and my son's guitar.

Weird.

Ovation Ultra 2178. It was discontinued in 2008, I believe. Parts were formed overseas but assembled in the USA or the other way around. I forget my Ovation history. I think it sat between the Celebrity and Elite series.

Makes sense, especially with my observation.

Mine does look suspiciously like the child of those two. I love my Ovation, but sometimes I wish its neck was a little bit thicker, or its fretboard was a little bit wider.

How am I suppose to see how many times skillet tells people he sleeps with me or that I am a lesbian?

As for the search engine I hope they find a way to retrieve the posts in some sort of organized order. The posts that come up are random and when I clicked on a few looking for the subject I wanted to check out I ended up on the Poli board. That place scares me so I backed off immediately.

For over a week now, I have not been able to reference old threads from lengthy debates that have already occurred. Just today, for example, I could not find my old thread about using the Treasury Department to create a new safety valve for monetary policy. That thread cannot be more than about 2 or 3 months old.

This happens to me every other day that I post now.

Please, please, please bring back the old search function options.
