*Is it me or has the search disappeared on the forum.....
You know where you can put in a name or words to search for a person or subject ???????

There is a quicker search now by google at the bottom of each page.

But it is not CD specific is it ? Also you can't go into a users profile and select posts as it says the facilty has been disabled ?

Yes it is CD specific as it is a site search.

Its pretty good really

but you cant put someones username in and search for any of their posts, or a word in to search for any posts with that word in...

Is it coming back I used it a lot to look for friends posts and different subjects that I knew had been written about before.??????????

It is now I have had a go !!

Wow! have you seen how many pages you have Lucy??
Just put LJS into the search

what the google one ?????

Didnt find any posts for someone that I know has posted within the last three days....

1,350 came up for me!!! LMAO
Lea

also you used to be able to put date on them didn't you???

found loads of yours jenny but not today's!??

No there must be something wrong with it as there is no way could have done that many posts

definitely something wrong you must have done far more than that

Cheeky !

who moi!!! never  

not all posts by me but 1,320 times my names been mentioned LOL

I do prefer the old search facility but I suppose we will get used to it, like so many other changes of late.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

Bring back the old search facility this new one is no help whatsoever..........

Pleeaaseeeeeeeeeeee can we have the old one back........

AGREE...

Putting it politely new search is no good.

Oh my previous post has been removed....are we not allowed to have an opinion at all now then....

Can we please have a username search restored......

It seems its not just me who doesnt like the new google search......

must admit change is never easy but I too did prefer the ability to search by username - we also had the option to look at date ranges too?  now we get heaps of pages and alot very old - don't suppose some tweaking to add date ranges can be added?  or an advanced search facility so we can use username?

Me too - it takes a lot longer to find what you are looking for

Yes, I prefer the older search facility. Some changes are good but looking for particular items is now taking too long.
We are like old dinosaurs here, soon we will be extinct

Why not do the initial search then use the advance search facility then you can pin point what you are after

PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE can we have the old one back ?!?!  I prefer the old lay-out .

I thought the new one was good until I tried to find 2 things today .. jezz.. Not working as well as I had hoped.  Maybe we can have the 2 that would make everyones life easy..  

Gosh don't properly come on for 2 days and I have to say I don't like the new search facility.  It was so much easier when you could put a subject matter, or person and days to look from in there.

I turn my back for 2 days and look what happens!

What happened to "if it ain't broke - don't fix it" ???   

Still haven't found the search

Google sitesearch at the bottom of the page.
Not as good!!! but saves us from looking bacj=k on peoples posts and picking at them
Lea :D :D :D

> Not as good!!! but saves us from looking bacj=k on peoples posts and picking at them

Don't worry you can now do that again, but you can only dredge up stuff from the last 180 days.

This thread really outed the stalkers

LMAO @ Mark, yeah can see it did :D :D :D :D :D
Damn, my one stalking time I got snitched on!!!! LOL
Thankyou Mark, as the serch function is great for finding poosts you know you have sent and know the title, but  cant find
So THANKYOU
LEa

WOW!

Thanks for that Mark   

Thank you for giving us the old search facility back...

It is much appreciated....

thanks for the search facility back

Roni

Thank-you !!!!

Hooray - ta muchly

Can you no longer search for threads more than 180 days old?

ETA: Oh, just realised the Google search finds older ones!

after the random reapperance of ancient threads that cause trouble recently (the one the vampire person brought up about wolves or soemthing and the one about that mic bloke) not sure its good!

Oh, but there are some real gems from years back (members and threads ). I remember some particularly great posts on the Behaviour board about ways to train certain behaviours/commands etc back when I first joined when there were more gundoggy people around - wish I'd saved them all now as searching has proved mostly fruitless!

Hi
Is there an archive or anything that can be accessed either via yourself or any other means to tap into the stuff that is older than 180 days?  Just that there are some right gems that you see and think 'right if ever I have that problem'........it just would save recycling some of the old favourite topics that I'm sure the experts on here must get sick of advising on time after time.

Cheers

But people can take offence to posts 2 hours ago :o
I was looking form something I postred when I first joined and couldnt find it
If somoene wants to find something bad to dig out, then they will find it. I am positive the good things about the search facility more than so many days out weights the *********** that find something to dig at
AND there are so many people to report or mod thread then they dont stay up long LOL
Lea
(P.S REMEMBER everyone, you all have the IGNORE and REPORT facility )

Hi Lea,

>If somoene wants to find something bad to dig out, then they will find it

you and I are reading entirely different things from Gunner's post   I read Gunner's request to be re sourcing helpful info from previous threads which might be useful to link to rather than repetitive bits and bobs .....

Ergo your further comment of

>(P.S REMEMBER everyone, you all have the IGNORE and REPORT facility  )

has completely lost me LOL. 

I was replying to Astarte's comment

> after the random reapperance of ancient threads that cause trouble recently

I agree I  think the search facilitty should go back further LOL
Lea

If you use the Google site search at the bottom of the page it goes back further.
