Searching

Postby res0o7eb » Sat Jun 02, 2007 10:37 am

Need some help with some fixes to searching:
1. How to search just an individual forum like General Discussion?
2. A multi-page result of a 'global' search using the left-sided menu selection displays the first page, but there is no way to get to the following pages. OK, I figured this one out. When a thread has multiple pages and there is an [all] selection, the page tracker in the lower left corner will show "Page 1 of 'x'" and the page navigation is removed. Sometimes the search will return this "[all]" page.
3. Scrolling thru a forum using the lower right 'pages' only allows the first or last three pages initially. After that, it is basically one page at a time. For example:
1, 2, 3, ... 25,26,27, Next Page one options.
Previous, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... 25, 26, 27, Next Page 3 options.
So, from the first page, it is possible to skip ahead two pages. But, every subsequent page only allows the next page to be selected. It is not possible to scroll past the next page or easily get to the middle page of the thread. Would be nice to be able to do that. Also, a goto page input box is needed, too. Same thing happens when trying to scroll from the end page.

Currently, there's no way to search by forum. Dennis has setup the search to use Google, instead.

There's no pagination mod to allow more than the first 3 or last 3 page options, sorry..

When we got kicked off the last host for excessive resource consumption, I thought searches might have been the culprit. I'm still not sure but I'll consider bringing them back. It's a huge load on the server, especially the initial indexing, and I figured if Google can carry the load, why not let them do it...
