The "Search" Feature - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

***Mister Underhill*** · 08-18-2002, 12:49 PM

In keeping with the recent Downs overhaul, I made some changes to how the board handles searches and rebuilt the indexes. A few test drives this morning show a marked improvement in search success.

Give "Search" another try if you haven't been able to find that old thread that is hopelessly lost in the archives.

Now THAT deserves a congratulations! I can find old EZboard posts! Very good job.

Awesome work, FR. Now remembering threads from two years ago finally pays off (esp. with the bigger Books).

Thank You, Sir. We appriciate all your hard work. I use the Search often.

Muy bueno! Great job! Now when I have a gnawing question I won't repeat history because I found nothing in the search. Thanks, Underhill!!! This forum just gets better all the time now... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks indeed. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

yet may I utter a tiny request? in EzBoard times it was seen who was last poster in hte thread. Mostly usefull feature, especially in the fun and games section. Can UBB support it?

Yeah, I miss that feature too, HI. Unfortunately, our version of UBB doesn't have it standard and we haven't seen a hack that does it either.
