Just searched for a couple of questions I have asked in the past regards wheels.
They are all there and like the way they are listed chronologically.

Like it.

EDIT

Apollo beat me to it  :signLOL: :signLOL:

A lot better than the current search engine, managed to find all the threads I wanted even by using really poor search words (like just two or three letters per word). I also like it's position at the top, meaning if you need to search in relation to something on the current page, you don't need to navigate away.

Also, is that the style of the new forum I spy? Like it a lot.

Glad to hear its an improvement... then again... a 16lb sledgehammer to the solaplexus would have been more helpful  :signLOL:

Correct.... been working on it for a while now.

Might be a stupid thing, or not possible, but what about the ability to sort results by relevance, date or alphabetical?

Click on the advance search (the little gear next to the main search bar) that will give you a few more options, but no alphabetical sorting I am afraid

Also it searches only as deep as you are in the forum... so

If you are on the main forum page... it will search the entire forum

If you are in a board... lets say members rides... it will only search members rides.

If you are in a post.. then it will only search in that post

That's quite a massive improvement, if you know what section a post was in... Very clever.

Excellent, the search function was the worst thing about this site, now I get recent results as well as old ones
