i hate the new search bar. because if you search more than one word, it gives you threads that have one of the two words in them, instead of threads that have both words.

Exactly. I've said it before, but I wish they would do the old searchbar format, but with more than 50 possible results.

it would be cool if they could just do it like the google searchbar. i don't know if that is possible, but its literally the only searchbar that i actually really like.

responses to two problems posed in this thread:

1) "i wish it was the google search." just go to google and put in whatever youre looking for plus "site:newschoolers.com" and it will search the site

2) "i'm looking for an exact string." i havent tried but if its anything like normal search engines, put whatever exact string youre looking for within quotes and it should search for it exactly like that. i may be wrong on that though

I dont like it either. I can never find anything i want anymore.

The old one was MUCH better, except for the 50 limit.

I think it's hard to bitch about the searchbar that no one uses anyway.  I've seen more how to do a frontflip/rodeo/backflip/etc. threads in the last week than I think I've ever seen on the site.  It's ridiculous.

Thats because nobody can find threads to bump them up so they make new ones, because the searchbar sucks now.
