We have had the flawed searchbar for a while now. I really feel like it should be top priority to be fixed. Having it search for any of the words entered, instead of all of the words, is literally useless (as we all know by now). There actually is some good info on this site, especially in the M&Arts and Gear Talk forums, and it is nearly impossible to find it. I am just bringing this problem to the top again to let you guys know that it is still a frustration for us, and we hope you are planning on tweaking it.

I agree, it is really hard to find stuff.

I appreciate the upgrade though NS, at least you are thinking of us :)

There is an incredible amount of skiing content on Newschoolers that is essentially lost because the searchbar isn't very effective. If nothing else, bring back the google search function in the next NS upgrade. Adding an advanced search link with a few searching options would be great. Most NSers just don't know the google search operators to efficiently search through past content on NS.

Yeah, it is super easy. But most people still don't know about about it.

I think one thing that would make the searchbar 10x better would be to narrow which forum you want to search in. If you know the thread you're looking for is in gear talk, then why search ALL the forums. Surprised this wasn't implemented from the get go.

It is pretty easy, but a hassle and not always 100%, it would just be nice to have a good searchbar as top priority right now

I offered to rewrite the NS search a while back for free. Talked to bishop about it a little but they never gave me the ok. Its really not that hard to write decent search queries... o well, i font have the time anymore even if i was asked to do it.
