What's wrong with the search function here?
 
Search doesn't show any results for any search term.

Driving me nut crazy, knowing there's so much info here, but not being able to get to it. Bad enough we lost so much archival treasure in the two "catastophic failures" of the forum ... but now I can't even find things from a couple months ago.

Welcoming any and all suggestions!

Hi Robert,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention... I wasn't aware of it...

I'll look into it (when I can, as I have a lot on my plate right now) and hopefully we can fix it...

Meanwhile, it's not complete, but you can use Google, which has apparently indexed around 47,000 pages here...

http://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=site:sowpub.com

Put in a space and then your search term in the search box, after "site:sowpub.com"...

Best wishes,

Dien

Hi Robert,

I've put the link now at the top of every forum page, for convenience...

Just click on the part that says "Search Sowpub.com using Google search..."

Best wishes!

Dien you can login to your adsense account and get the code for a google search box that will only search your website too. Will earn you a bit too.

Hi Ankesh,

Thanks for the tip! I'll do that... I'll try to set it up in the next day or so... :)

Best wishes,

Thanks again for the tip, Ankesh!

A custom Google search box has now been implemented at the top of every forum page... :)

Best wishes,

Dien
