I've replaced the in-house search function with Google Search. This should provide better results. It searches the guide and forum simultaneously. This should help guests and members tracking down info. There will generally be a delay of a few days before a post is visible in google results, but search is generally going to be more helpful for finding older posts and deeper information.
I'm fond of the fact that guide results will be displayed alongside forum results. Often if you're doing a search you're trying to find some specific bit of information. There's a lot that is not on this forum simply because it's already present on the guide. Some guests have probably never heard of either of our two sites, and this will serve better to connect them.
Let me know your experience with this. However this change will probably stay as I was unable to get very good results from a search the way it was
and it was already on the "best" settingYou'll find the guide and forum search are the same thing now. Results are dropped into a page that looks a bit more like the guide. Results used to look horrific. I'm glad I fixed that
