Is there anyway to implement another search then the one thos forum uses.

[Gray Fox]

I mean this search absolutely sucks in every conceivable way. I mean Google has allready made a desktop search, haven't they or anybody else made a forum search tool or something that works, that someone can recommend?:imu: :imu:

 

[Axyon]

I don't think it sucks at all - with advanced searching you can find what you're looking for without any trouble usually.

QFE.


What exactly don't you like about it?!

 

[StarMonkey]

It would help if we had any idea what sort of problems you had with the search.

 

[Gray Fox]

Like for example if I go the Films, TV and DVD forum, and I go to searhc this forum I type something like "Over there" just to test out the search, cause there is a topic named I didn't like "over there" you would think I would get that or some other results, instead I get

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

, this is just an example, but i can't seem to find a lot of things with search, for me it just doesn't work that well, And if you're wondering, I typed over there with the ", because I know those words are common terms.

I'm sorry to hijack this thread, but the irony is that I can't start a new thread about it because that's my problem.

The lay-out is all ****ed up and I can't see or use buttons like 'quote' or 'make thread'.

I asked for help at #halflife2. Big mistake.

Have you tried doing a hard refresh -- Ctrl +F5

 

[Mutley]

Isn't that just the same as "F5"?

Anyway, FireFox does move things about on forums, I used it and had to change to Netscape because everytime you went to a forum you have to refresh to see it again. Sometimes I got peoples avatars as the "New Topic" button... wierd.

 

[Link]

No, CTRL-F5 forces it to load fresh, normal F5 may load some things from the cashe.

Go to google, type in your seach item and add site:www.halflife2.net/forum on the end. Not ideal, it won't have the latest threads, but its about the only other option apart from the built in forum search.

 

[Insano]

I did a hard refresh and a normal refresh: still nothing...

 

[bliink]

the only thing that annoys me about search is that the results are highlighted in green.. I liked the old bright red better

Are you sure you haven't accidentally a.d-blocked 'http://www.halflife2.net/forums' or something - I tried it just then and it produced similar results to your image.

Edit: For some reason, a.d-blocked is in the censored words list. Odd.

 

[Kangy]

Heh, yes, a.d.block is well, blocked, in a fun twist of irony. But yeah, sounds like something is possibly blocking those things. Either that, or something is up with your browser. Try taking a look at the site with a different browser maybe?

 

[oldagerocker]

You sure you got images to display in settings?

looks like you dont have images on and munro in his infinate wisdom probably uses spacer.gifs.

 

[The Monkey]

ANd it seems like 99% of all english word are either "very common, too long, or too short"... :|

 

[Insano]

I can see this site normal in IE, but not in FF.

I'm using a.d-block for a while now and I never had this problem before until yesterday.

Deleting a.d-block doesn't help, I just did it and it's still the same.

 

[FictiousWill]

I see that light blue style page for about a quarter of a second in FF, just before the working one pops in.

 

[Insano]

I fixed it, so I'm back in business!

 

[Chris D]

How did you fix it Insane?

 

[Insano]

Extra -> Options -> Web functions -> "Load images" was checked, but if I clicked "Exceptions" there was for some reason www.halflife2.net

I know for sure that I didn't add it. Maybe some nasty script did it.

Oh, and I reïnstalled A.dblock

Edit: Thanks to all the help I received. It's nice to see that.

 

[oldagerocker]

Pfft, i told you you had images off. Where my credit BITCH?

Yeah, I know. I saw that post the first time, but didn't know what you meant so that's why

I found it when I was looking around in options.

oldagerocker for president!
