This goes to show how long its been since I have used it after posting this. I went back and started using it again instead of spending a lot of time reading old post. I have one one thing to say.

I LOVE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!!!

I really like the new search button, It works better that it ever has!
Now for the down side of it, this user 91101 or what ever it is started coming
up as my user name/ profile, but after the first 10 times that came up, it changed to search can not find this page. Now every time that you click on
my user profile, we can not find this page! Now I do know that I am to fill out
a ticket, but this started on april fools right after I made an april fools post
that I must have thought was funny when others may not have!

here is a link to the post on april fools day! Now keep in mind some users were trying for the decode first! And fighting over decoding

This may or may not have already come up.

IF I search all posts by my user name, The first posts (i think) should be my most recent, but instead are from the test forum on 9-23-07 and I think the "score" may be broke, it says 83% yet I was the only one who posted.


Now I searched baseball and the top page of results were 5 threads repeated, That seems useless to me

[andersIB]

I like it - you guys are a tough bunch, thanks for the eventual welcome on page 2! But kidding aside, I really do appreciate your feedback - as I've mentioned before, be it small or large we want to hear your gripes as it is YOUR input that will directly influence the changes made to the ibSearch feature. It appears that certain issues are reported by multiple users here, so it appears that certain changes to the search are going to be fairly obvious.

Thanks again,
Mike

Well Mike you need to check the thread you made in "Site Announcements" for some more thoughts for you to ponder

My apologies for the double post - see, that's the other problem. It did not allow me to post anything in that forum, in fact nothing showed up on multiple refreshes; but apparently the message went through. More stuff to fix!

I used to be able to bring up a user's profile by clicking on their name in this section.

No big deal, just wondering.

Problem noted, working on fixing it, strange issue!

[jake00]

maybe send out a broadcast PM asking for feedback on the search,

[DaMole]

I think it works great. I will use it a little more and give it a more detailed look to see if I see anything. Thanks for all yalls work.

[glruff]

Jake that brings up another question, has the PM Broadcast function been fixed?

[andersIB]

Just checking back in guys; anything else pop up perhaps.

[glruff]

Why yes, has the PM system been fixed so an Admin can send/broadcast a general message to only members of a specific state?

This is a great tool for the Chapter Leaders when trying to reach FTE members in their state.

I noticed today that when I did a search and was going through the pages sorted by date it did not highlight which page number I was on so I had to guess which page to go to next.

[projectSHO89]

Hey, Mike!

Can it be set up so SEARCH results can default to date instead of relevance via an option in the User CP?

For my money, the relevance sort just isn't particularly useful and I ALWAYS find myself resorting immediately.

Thanks,

Steve
