~pcwiz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Ha ha lol Mebster you're gonna use Google Custom Search with some custom CSS and a couple mods here and there to make it more InsanelyMac integrated So obvious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot hatch Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Now I don't want to give too much away about the idea but all I can say is it involves Google Search the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 I think Mebster meant to say it doesn't involve Google. I can assure you, we are most definitely not using Google Custom Search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac.nub Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I think Mebster meant to say it doesn't involve Google. I can assure you, we are most definitely not using Google Custom Search. Shame, unless of course you can come up with something better - all I know is I've used google to search the forums for pretty much as long as I've been a member and it works well. Got to say, the category updates/re-organisation was a good idea - it's much easier to see what goes where now (at least in my opinion). ~mac.nub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ongeloof Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 When the website was down, wouldn't it be good if you could throw that up? Without the store bit, of course. Think Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_cute Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Well,I liked the title "The Magnificent Seven".But I guess it was hit by the machine gun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 This new organization will take some getting used to, but overall its better and more logical. The OSX86 section as a whole is a lot cleaner now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ongeloof Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I like the magnificent seven too, but the new OSx86 is just the best. should have been done long ago Think Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiaboliK Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Yep, search is next on the list. We have came up with a fantastic idea to help improve search results and their relevance when trying to find information on the forum. I will talk about this in a week or two. We just need time to develop the new system and test it. the search has been borked ever since conception back in july of '05. this should have been addressed many many months ago if not years, if you get people who cant find what they are looking for they will post all willy nilly like in any thread they deem relevent. as for the forum rearangement, whats the point? fix the search and that will resolve alot of the missplaced post and other random bullcr@p. thats my but hey no1 ever listens to me. -D- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 Diabolik, I try to listen to as many people as possible. Search is our top priority now - it's (hopefully) the next thing to be fixed. - Sabr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefinalprophecy Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 the best way to search is to use google anyway, and just end with "site:insanelymac.com". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_cute Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I think that thefinalprophecy is right:Google is our friend.But now I believe that we deserve the "Search option".Go for it Sabr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suhail Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Problem is we can't rely on Google for our search, Since it does not index every single thing at once. It takes it's time. Also we are testing a new method of Searching and seeing how that is turning out. Its still in development but it is progressing . Hope I helped and all I can say is that it will be implemented soon.

You'd be surprised on how fast Google indexes this site... I've had a few posts of mine come up within an hour of me posting... but I agree, it's not quick for all posts.

danubletta Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 To be honest, I use a lot of google, with inurl:insanelymac.com rather than the build-in search... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_cute Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 @ Sabr Could be possible to add the arrows on the messenger to jump from one message to another?.Sometimes is very annoying click the inbox or sent items to do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 @ Sabr Could be possible to add the arrows on the messenger to jump from one message to another?.Sometimes is very annoying click the inbox or sent items to do that... Yeah, that's probably possible with some extra code (Suhail is the one who could say for sure). Once we've figured out the search we can look into it for you.

IndiHack Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think you should do something about the Search. It's really irritating. Why don't you use Google site search ? It's much better. Will also save you bandwidth. Oops didn't read all the posts, that's what you were talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
