MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Is that it then, or is there more functionality to come? Or am I looking in the wrong place? 🙁
A lot faster though.
Hmm, I was hoping they'd be tuning the DB indexes.
Can still do most things with creative search strings, but not on post date being within the last 2 months for example.
There are well over a millions posts on the forum now. If someone does a comprehensive search it takes a while and slows the forum down. And we do database indexing and all that malarkey.
We are in the process of upgrading the servers. Traffic has continued to increase over the course of the year, in fact, we now get twice as many visitors as a year ago.
So we replaced the forum search with a google custom search. If you want to do more fancy things then you can do the search directly in Google (site:www.singletrackworld.com/forum/ your search terms) then click the "show options" on the left. There you can do date ranges and all sorts of stuff.
i.e. use this?
http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search?q=site:www.singletrackworld.com/forum/&hl=en
and click the plus at the bottom for date ranges etc.
yes! I shall put that on the search page.

Yeah, that's more like it thanks. I hadn't noticed the advanced page had those options.
ok, cheers. Couldn't find any 'advanced' options, thanks for the help.
I can't get it to work for me.
Even just doing a basic search, the results are in no order.
