    Default Advanced Search now on the site

    Christine and our employees included, many customers weren't thrilled with how the search worked on the site. So, we now have a new search engine powered by one of the industry leaders. Not only will searches be more relevant, it offers a host of other features like catching spelling mistakes and allowing you to sort the search results by a number of different factors. I hope you find this an improvement.

    I hope it's not from the same guys who provide the search engine for B&B.

    Looks like it is. No matter what I put in it comes back the same....

    Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

    That only seems to happen in some places where the whole form doesn't come up.

    Works for me, Steve. I entered "best" and got back 68 matches. Of course, the first one is for the G3, which probably won't ever be for sale - and it has a broken image too.

    Maybe a browser issue? I'm using chrome on OS X.

    I don't know... The short page seems to come up in the advanced search for a particular thread. That would probably explain the lack of results. I had several windows open--I might have made that mistake.

    I like the new search features. The sorting is nice. By default, the search seems to find all words, rather than any, which is better than before (iirc).

    Let me know specific terms that don't come up correctly and I'll have it looked at. It's a paid service and comes highly rated.
