Title: Forum search could be better Post by: netrin on July 13, 2011, 02:02:34 PM Too often I can't find previous articles despite providing excellent search queries. For example, if I know most of the words in the TITLE and the original poster's USERNAME, I still might get zero (0) hits. Perhaps the search form should just redirect input to google appending site:forum.bitcoin.org ?
Title: Re: Forum search could be better Post by: BitcoinPorn on July 13, 2011, 02:09:34 PM I always end up on Google when I search the forums.
"site:Bitcoin.org (search term here)" is my friend. Limited search terms by time periods within Google helps too.

Always do you search from the home forum page if you don't remember where it was posted.Title: Re: Forum search could be better Post by: netrin on July 15, 2011, 01:13:02 AM Too often I can't find previous articles despite providing excellent search queries.
