Title: Search Function
Post by: GTI-Pirelli on July 16, 2012, 02:45:38 pm: Firstly, sorry if this is in the wrong place!

I don't appear to have a search option anymore?
I have used it a few times before. I thought it was in the top banner but could be losing the plot?

Is this due to my low post count???

I tried this link from another thread but all I get is:

mind if i ask the logic behind this?

surely the end product would be new members posting questions that will have been answered before due to not being able to search?

It's a short term change while some work is done on the search indexes.

Ah. I thought it was there when I joined but isn't now! I find the search useful, and saves repeat posts on other things that have been discussed many times before!

Post by: SteveP on August 10, 2012, 06:13:00 am: Search now available again to all registered members.

Also some changes have been made to the search engine to improve performance and qualitity of the results set.

It will take a couple of days for the search indexes to fully refresh but hopefully this should improve things.
