Forum Search....

[electrolito 77]

Searching through the forums is a nightmare here. Have any of the Administrators thought about incorporating a search engine for the Forums? Just a generally discussed gripe

 

[Avelorn]

You mean like the \"search\" button next to the \"member list\" in the lefthand corner?

Well, the search function could be a little more advanced for more acurate searches, but generally, I find what I look for with not too much effort.

lol
Have to admit though, it took me a while to find it, it is only a tiny little button.

They should build a search button for the search button, then you would never lose it.

Not to pile on, but a \"Find in page\" of \"Search\" will reveal the search link. lol

Now, if only there were a way to quote other posts when replying....

i am an idiot.... No wonder I could never find it ??? Now I play it cool.

 

[matty1001]

Just delete the thread and pretend you never said anyhting.....:]

There\'s an old thread in the Bugs/Feedback/Wishlist asking for a better search function....but I can\'t find it.

Don\'t feel bad. After spedning so much time on CMON I get annoyed that other sites\' forums aren\'t arranged like ours. I think Chern has a pretty user-friendly set-up all around. It took me forever to figure out how to post pics.

My biggest gripe is the \"new thread\" and \"Post Reply\" buttons are reversed on another forum I spend time on. I inveriably start a new thread instead of replying. Then it gets bounced because I did not add a title.

 

[matty1001]

Is that over at Eastern Front? Because i keep doing that aswell! lol

 

[electrolito 77]

You guys are soo great :moon:

Still, it could be a bit better, like with a blank space to begin with, it would be easier to find.

You know the first thing you do when looking for a search bar is look for the blank space to put the query in...???

Just throwing that out there....

I can\'t tell you the number of times I\'ve clicked \"edit\" instead of \"quote\", then blithely added my comments to someone else\'s post and attempted to submit.

Seriously, I\'m quite a bonehead.

I\'ve accidentally quoted myself her a couple times.

Semi-related, but I\'ve lost count how many times I\'ve hit \"Report\" instead of \"Reply\" as it\'s in the same position just at the top of each note instead of at the bottom.

So you\'re the reason DR keeps sending me letters of reprimand.

LOL, I was just reading this, and thought maybe they should have a FAQ, so people could read it and find out we have a SEARCH function. Then I looked at the top of the page right next to the little search function...

lol
