    This is ChatGPT explanation

    1. JavaScript Function:
      • The searchCopytechnet function is called when any of the search buttons are clicked.
      • It retrieves the search query entered by the user and constructs a Google search URL with the specific site filter based on the button clicked (Canon, Konica, or Kyocera).
      • Finally, it opens the constructed search URL in a new tab using window.open.



    As I mentioned ChatGPT's webpage was a bit messy looking visually, it put the buttons in a row of six, I also changed the width of the search box so it lines up with the buttons. There is something trivially satisfying when you change a few lines of code manually and get exactly what you want, a bit like fixing a photocopier, no one else appreciates your satisfaction.

    I knew you would want Konica, slim would like Ricoh and the original poster asked for Sharp, I could add more, I think "connectivity" may be useful, but I am looking for idea's.

      Good work! We might have a slight tweak to our URLs when we migrate so be ready for a quick edit.

        Thanks ! And I am grateful for this site, where an app like mine may be of use to some people.

        I think some users look at the forum subsection they are interested in and nowhere else, maybe some have missed this thread.

        I could advertise the app in the six subforums that it currently supports or would that be considered spamming, lol.

          Just kidding mate I think you should post it where it can be useful for other members or maybe Admin make it Sticky.

            Yeah, those url's are something else compared to the previous, and currently this Google search doesn't work.

                Hello all. I'm new here so don't mind if i don't know something. I'm interested to learn more about Versant 2100. Of course first I have tried search but it don't work.

                I have tried search via google: "versant 2100 site:copytechnet.com" but after i click on link, i got:

                "Invalid Page URL. If this is an error and the page should exist, please contact the system administrator and tell them how you got this message."

                It is still possible to see text via cache function but it is time consuming and CSS formatting is lost, links and attachments don't work etc.

                Is there any solution?

                I read post by Admin, but i can't see "Search Single Content Type" tab?

                Thanks

                        I'm not sure if we can fix the issue with old URLs in old forum posts but Google will update over the next few weeks as it recrawls the site.

                          Searching Google for example "bizhub c258 d010" finds links to CTN but nothing on them but:

                            That is because it is searching using its existing database. As Aneurysm said it could take Google weeks to do a deep scan of the CTN database and rebuild the links in its own database.

                                If all those old posts have been backed up, and we will just have to wait for Google to index them, all well and good.
