Default New Search Option

If you didn't notice it - there's a new global search option located in the tabs under the STR logo. It's powered by google and is a lot quicker than the forum built in one.

Quick rundown on the goods:
  • also searches through photo gallery unlike current forum search
  • during testing the results seemed more useful than the current search
  • faster
  • no character minimum like the forum search (you can do three & two letter word searches)
You can try it and use it if you'd like. Or stick to the old one. Your choice

Does it work with all versions of IE? I have an older version (6.0, and I'd rather not update. although I know I should) and every time I click on the new search tab I get the error "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." updaYou know the one that closes all your open windows. Just wondering what the compatibility requirements are...

(Haha I think this is what will finally get me to use Firefox exclusively)

THANKS!

Thanks for the tip. I'll do some IE testing with Parallels. In the meantime you can try out the search through here: http://www.socaltrailriders.org/search.php

I dig it. It has made searching for a few of the popular items that aren't always posted in.

Think I can search "vertical photos"?

I'm from NY, and am actually a bigger Buffalo fan, but...they haven't been very hot since Jim Kelly.
And I can't possibly root for the team that beat the Chargers.
