This statement is 1000000% false. I just started a thread on the rant, then searched for it using key words in title, and the thread didn't even come up. The old way would've had it at the top of the list.

Wait, you just started the thread? Why not just click the "My Posts" link at the top of the page?

I searched for the topic that I was going to start my thread about, and I got nothing; so I started the thread, everyone called it germans, I then searched for the thread using the new search feature to see how well it worked, and it didn't come up.

Ok, that's fine and dandy if that's the reason for the switch. If this is going to be the search function on this website, using "germans" needs to become a banable offense.

You want me to leave this website to go search for something on this website?

This thread is anchored. 
Chicken, I like the plan that would allow the old search to be performed up to two weeks. I never used google search before now, but I understand the strain on the servers. (I still prefer the old search, but it is what it is)

just checking in... looks like more love pouring in for the new search because the old one sucked so bad.

quote:God damn, what part about it was a strain on the server do you not understand? A single search could conceivably use the server resources of 20 or more regular page refreshes. Are you really going to keep bitching about a single feature that you don't like on a free website that will surely be improved with time?

nope, just busy debunking the myth that people were bitching about the old search and calling for this...

I would've searched for sign, bama sign, sign I-10 before I would've made the thread using the old way.

ok chicken, legit gripe on new "search feature. i supposed to search specific boards? I searched "O-T lounge" "oaths" and "vows" and it still hasn't puled up the topic located within those parameters. look, I'll pay the premium for the old search feature. shoot me an email.
