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"?

Hanzo · 12-29-2007, 05:59 PM

I like it better as well. It finds what Im looking for and is faster then the old way. Thanks for all your work G!

See posts 3 and 4. I'll do some troubleshooting very soon. Till then you can use www.socaltrailriders.org/search.php. Right now I'm kind of caught up in the giants/pats game

And I can't possibly root for the team that beat the Chargers.

Giants for sure.But in the end Seattle Seahawks all the way. Thanks George for the improvement.

Am I missing something? It seems that the google search doesn't understand last post time?
