    Default Google Search has gone

    The Google Search boxes have gone and been replaced by forum Search with new Boolean capabilities.

    We have updated and and enhanced the forums Search capabilities and now everyone can confidently search the forums using the forum Search links found on the top Navigation Bar (quick Search) or the left column (advanced search). You can now do a Boolean search, which includes the use of " ", AND, OR, and NOT to limit or narrow the results.

    This enhancement gives concise and extremely accurate results. Much more so than even the Google site search did and without the extra ads.

    A search for threads containing the words Acid Bath previously brought up all instances of "Acid" and "bath" 43 in total with only one being about Acid Bath a search now for "acid bath" will give you that one relevant thread and save tons of time wading through all the therads to find what you want.

    A search for acid bath in posts used to bring up 56 posts mostly irrelevant whilst "acid bath" now brings up 22 posts all to do with the words acid bath and in 0.03 seconds.

    Give it a try next time you're looking for something. It's even more brilliant than before.


    Cheers - Neil

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Good news and a great refinement. Now, when we suggest a Google search, we can dispense with "(global, not WWF local)," and better utilise the WWF local search.

    BTW, I thought the birfdy boy was supposed to receive gifts instead of giving them. Thanks, anyway.
