"Search" issues

Hi, I like browsing old topics in the forums and I find it extremely tedious to do so without the "Search" feature working properly.

I've noticed that it no longer returns search results of any kind. It's not that it's "too broad" or would return too many hits. It's just giving me nothing at all. A few months ago, I could type in many things and return results. Now, that's not happening.

Am I alone in experiencing this? Is "Search" being updated? Please let me know.

You can search the site with Google. Just go to Google, and type the word you want to search the Org for, then press the spacebar, then type the following (with no quotes) "site:prince.org".

This will tell Google to search for your word or phrase, only on pages within Prince.org and not the whole entire web.

Well, whadda-ya-know! Thanks. You should make a sticky of this because I'm sure this question is going to come up again.

doesn't really solve the problem of the site search though. plus, the google results are woefully incomplete.

What he said. I just tried googling some options and a lot didn't come up. I say restore the search feature fully. Please?
