e.g. I'm looking for that thread Jess started a bit back about our favorite '03 singles and I'm having no luck at all. this sucks. the old search engine rocked, this does not.

yeah, what he said.

the more I look at this the angrier it makes me. this new thing makes it basically IMPOSSIBLE to find anything on the boards now. why did it change?

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 21 July 2003 07:27 (twenty-three years ago)

so what are the best singles of 2003 so far?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 21 July 2003 07:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, and why did it change? It's a stopgap until the server problems are worked out:

what's with the new search setup?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 21 July 2003 07:31 (twenty-three years ago)

thanks for the info and the link both, much appreciated

yeah, not great, but is just a stopgap thank god

What I usually do is select the option of showing all threads ever (admittedly rubbish if you have a slow connection), or all threads for a specific month, and doing a text search from there.

I cannot find anything with either search engine. is there anything we can all do or is it strictly a techie situ?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 21 July 2003 09:29 (twenty-three years ago)

what are you looking for?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 21 July 2003 09:59 (twenty-three years ago)

how about all messages posted by person x (take your pick) since the 17th of this month?

― angela (angela), Monday, 21 July 2003 11:41 (twenty-three years ago)

If you are searching for a particular message do you just type it after the 'site ilx etc' part in the search section?!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 21 July 2003 11:43 (twenty-three years ago)

yes

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 21 July 2003 11:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Would it be possible to have an announcements page on ilxor.com so that when the mods do something like this they can put up a link saying 'we've done this and here's why and here's the official thread about it' so we don't have 10 different threads on it. No offense to anyone who started a thread, I feel your pain, it's just we need somewhere official so that everyone can find out easily.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Monday, 21 July 2003 11:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Just a note on the new search screen explaining the situation would suffice.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 21 July 2003 12:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Related to that, what is the status of work with the search engine/new RAM?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 July 2003 12:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Get it while it's hot!

Er, what N. said is very wise. Could one of you with the power to do this do it?
