YOU NEED A BETTER SEARCH OPTION!

[on:]

I searched to see if there was already a thread and if there is it only proves my point.
I have a list of improvements:
1. Ability to search the whole site instead of section by section.*

2. No caps sensitive stuff I.E. Evil Mirror Kif as opposed to evil mirror kif

3. ability to search back more then 6 months.
*very important

thank you for your time.

Well, if people didn't use all caps for thread names, they might get somewhere with seaches.

If it's not enough, do a site search on Google.

Doing a search of everything i presume would be too much for the server to handle, we've already had multiple crashes due to simply posting.

I proposed a change of the Search function some time ago, too.

But:

1. A search within all boards would Proably cause the UBB-engine to waste too much prozessor-time, you may claim that it is possible on other message board systems, but take a look at [-mArc-]'s answer. Beside, I don't think it is that hard to search for a certain keyword within more than only one board. I never had any problems with that.

2. If you're talking about the keywords I guess that they aren't case sensitive at all. If you're talking about the "search by username" option then yes, unless you chose "partial name match...". I.E a search for the partial name "mirror kif" gives your posts.

3. You can search back for more than 6 month. There isn't any restriction on the time, unless you choose one of the options of "search by date"

What I suggested is that the search resutls are sorted the other way around, from new to old, instead.

Also, your question would have been better placed in the Few Questions/Suggestions-thread.

Good one Aslate   

Yes, like your name, CAPS are evil. Don't do that!

efk, nobodys gonna do anything about it. Just like the mispelling of "discussion" on the general discussion forum.

[Reply #4 on:]

It isn't a misspelling anymore Benderboy123. It became a tradition over the years and therefore it won't be changed.   

see it as a mixed form of "discussion" and "(to) diss", since it happens quite often in there  .

Heh, see the PEELers' FAQ to, erm, confirm that.

[Reply #6 on:]

The search function is useless anyways... Why would anyone need to search for something on PEEL? Jeeeezzzz... 

[Reply #7 on:]

I use that search all the time.

I rarely have a problems finding things I am looking for with the Peel search
