View Full Version : Search Function?? 248SPG 03 February 2004, 01:49 Hi Simon/Shaun. Am I being blind or is there no longer a Search function?? I just don't want to get told off by the bullies or someone shout SIAL at me ;) Thanks in advance Steve JohnMcC 03 February 2004, 02:08 I think in one of Simon's/Shaun's threads he mentions that the search function isnt quite up and running yet. :) JohnMcC 03 February 2004, 02:14 Steve, Thought I saw it somewhere - in Simon's post in General (I think) he says this: In addition, please accept our deepest apologies, that the search function is not yet switched on. It requires a huge indexing process, which we will do gradually over the next 2 weeks and then switch it on. John :) chiark 03 February 2004, 09:37 That's the bunny. Search users a massive index, which needs to be built. Building it takes a serious amount of processing but once done it should mean that we can search blindingly quickly :D talizman 03 February 2004, 10:01 Hopefully it will incorporate a forum specific search too, rather than a full site search... Search by Author would be handy also.... :rolleyes: Edited: My first post on SN3 and I need to edit cos I can't spell! D'oh! chiark 03 February 2004, 10:22 Search by author will be there, along with forum specific, and (hopefully) all the standard features of vBulletin search. This will be a Good Thing, but please give us (or more accurately, them - Si and Shaun) a couple of weeks as requested :) Cheers, Nick. talizman 03 February 2004, 10:25 No probs Chiark. Any idea why against my username on the left, it says that I registered with SN 7 years before I was born? lol I didn't realise the net was functional in January 1970! :D 248SPG 03 February 2004, 13:40 OK thanks guys I just thought I was being blind so glad to know I am not :D Dont mind waiting at least we have a reply to the people who go around hunting for SIAL's :D Steve Dyney 04 February 2004, 22:50 talizman, We had a software update a while ago and all those that registered after that have no date of joining so Jan 1970 was used as a default. Simon and Shaun know about this and are going to sort it, but as you can imagine they have a few other jobs on the list :eek: ;) Katana 05 February 2004, 23:16 Ahh I get it now. The search function is coming back. :D chrome 08 February 2004, 20:02 doh. just posted a similar question in 'policy' ... my bad, just found this.. would have been much easier with the search function!!! LOL ;) |
