#133309 - 08/09/03 10:01 AM Tweak the search engine . . .
GrayHam Member Registered: 17/04/01 Posts: 8849	Ian, As a good and loyal XOCer, I use the search button. However, when I do use the tool, I find that I spend a good amount of time scrolling through the Search In: list, trying to find the damn forum I'm looking for . . . What is the logic for the way the forums in this list are laid out? -Not alphabetical. -Not set up to mimic their place in the Forums page. Is it possible to tweak this list? Might make it easier to find the forum you want to search . . . _________________________ Does anybody remember laughter?

XOC Admin Member Registered: 16/08/00 Posts: 17103 Loc: Minneapolis, MN	They are ordered numerically, which makes the list pointless. The best way to use it is to go to the forum you want to search, and search from there. Someday, a million years from now, I'll find 100 free hours and convert the board over to vBulletin. I was going to do it a few months ago, but it didn't convert correctly. Now that they have fixed it, I'm at work, and don't have free time to do it. _________________________ nom nom nom
