    The stock search engine is average at best and with the increase in forum size is running slower as time goes by. I've upgraded our forum search engine to use Google Custom Search. It's much more powerful.

    Let me know if you have any thoughts or feedback.

    Always found the search a bit frustrating so sounds good

    The search was poor so look forward to seeing how the improved version does

    Thanks Rob :)

    I don't like the new search. Seems to be full of ads.
    It seems more difficult to sift through the search results
