Searching fixes

Post by matthew1 »

I just fixed the Google search (at the top of the pages). (Thanks Jason H.)

The forum's internal search mechanism I have indexing. Translation: in a few hours we'll have results when we use the forum search.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Thanks Matt!
Are you saying it will take us a few hours to do a search?
Ahhhh....just kidding with you! Yes, I'm familiar with the way the search works- seen it on other sites, and it does work!
Actually, there might be a code to add this whole thing to the little search window in FireFox....you can search from your browser that way!

I know. Ever since you brought that up over a year ago it's been in the back of my mind... always popping up when I see other sites with that feature. I'll do that soon, I promise.

As for internal forum search, it looks like indexing has finished. I tested it by running a search on "radiator" and it returned almost 1200 matches going back to 2002.

Another updated feature of this new forum software is that you can copy the URL of search results now. Like this from my radiator search:

https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... mit=Search

Before, the search results were not stored in the URL, and as a result not able to be linked to.

Okay, I got busy (skipped doing my work I was suppose to) and made the plug-in for FireFox, so if anyone wants it, it will download and install from here (just click on the link, also click on the link once you get to this link): http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engine ... sVolvoSite
