Re: Search Engine is Crap!
Either I don't know how to use it, or it's very unintuitive.
I really just kept track of my own posts, read interesting posts and follow the gossip. -
I would agree it's not the greatest. I have much better luck searching this site via Google.
IE: (model #) constant jams in fuser site:copytechnet.com
Works great for meComment

Re: Search Engine is Crap!
Search function here never worked for me be it advanced or not. Perhaps I'm not advanced enough......?

Re: Search Engine is Crap!
This script will do a Google search on this site.
Create a new text document with notepad and save the following code as search copytechnet or whatever you want but the file extension has to be .bat
When run a command prompt pops up and you type your search terms, press enter and Firefox or Internet Explorer opens with the Google results, it saves you having to type the following into Google each time "site:http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/canon/"
It searches the canon subforum but can be modified to any sub forum, just alter the red text and change it to what you see in the address bar of your web browser. For example if you wanted to search the Ricoh forum put ricoh-savin-gestetner instead of canon.
The blue text can be changed to whatever you want.
Enjoy
If this isn't worth a rep or like i dont know what is.Code:@echo off set "google=http://www.google.com/search?q=" set "site=+site:http%%3A%%2F%%2Fwww.copytechnet.com%%2Fforums%%2F[COLOR=#ff0000]canon[/COLOR]%%2F" set /p "string=[COLOR=#0000ff]Search Copytechnet canon for[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]:[/COLOR] " set "string=%string: =+%" start "" %google%%string%%site%

Re: Search Engine is Crap!
The only problem I have with it is that while it does pull up things you are searching for, it also pulls up a lot of random things that really make no sense in relation to the search topic. Almost as if it's searching by each individual letter rather than the whole word or phrase...
If someone were to search "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" they would be utterly screwed.Cthulhu for president! Why settle for the lesser evil?Comment

Re: Search Engine is Crap!
I've typed that phrase a few time back in the mid 90's when I was working part time at a school district as a tech while still in high school. We supported Apple IIe's up to when Apple finally decided to stop supporting them."In a cruel and evil world, being cynical can allow you to get some entertainment out of it."
