Techious Search Engine

To be straight, 100% Serious and speaking the truth:

Our search engine for the forum sucks. Really. Sorry if i hurt someone with that. But its bad. I never get what i search. I was searching for the Post your Desktop topic. But i cant find any shit. Same was with the I has a new Sig Topic.

In my opinion. The Search thing is useless. Can we have a new one?

The one on the main page never works for me either, try using the one on the red bar instead.

If you search someting on jH or the Freelancer forum. You always find it. But even when i search for "Desktop" i get no results.

schlurbi · Sat Jun 20, 2009 9:40 am

I never saw this one

I normally tried the one on the main page.

Si · Sat Jun 20, 2009 9:42 am

Wynney · Sat Jun 20, 2009 9:43 am

oh that one! rofl yeh, i think we established that one isn't as good on the day it was put in didn't we?

This one works fine. But now:

People suing the green skin cant read the marked words.

Skillers · Sat Jun 20, 2009 12:33 pm

Yeah, the Google one sucks, might aswell scrap it/not put it in TCHS2.

schlurbi · Sat Jun 20, 2009 6:57 pm

Is is possible that everything, that is on TCHS and is made by google sucks?
I mean: Search Engine = Shit, Ads = Shit Is there more? Lol.

Wynney · Sat Jun 20, 2009 6:59 pm

Ads aren't really noticeable so I don't see what your point is on that. The search engine doesn't work but meh.

Skillers · Sat Jun 20, 2009 7:01 pm

Search and Ads are the only thing. Search was a trial, but that sucks. Ads were also a trial that worked to begin with, but now pretty much suck.

Need to set it up correctly.

If you talk to Skillers and send him the links of the adverts, I think he can remove them.

I'm the only one who seems to point out the odd adverts though.

Skillers · Wed Jul 01, 2009 1:14 pm

I can remove them.

@Scottie, any tips?

Well I don 't know when you set it up, but you should be able to set it up to search your whole site, including the forums. At the moment it is trying to search either a very limited portion of it or nothing at all, and is missing out on all the phpbb forum.

Even if you set it up with a simple parameter such as Techious (i.e. included in everyone's search), it would likely find the correct thread / forum in a normal google search, since Techious is the first hit in google.

For example I just typed into google Techious Hardware, Techious Lan, Techious Windows 7 and it worked perfectly. If in a normal search even just Techious was included as a parameter it would likely find everything people want.

Mind you the search you have on the forum seems fine, so you could simply use it instead of the google one.
