    Vote on the new search tool.

    We've had the new search tool for a week or so. Do you like it?

    Chris - I didn't realize that I was searching with the "new" tool. But I did a search yesterday, and the result I was looking for popped right up. So it's a yes vote for me.

    Didn’t know about it either but did a few searches and it worked well with multi-word searches so a yes for me too

    I use the search tool all the time and to be honest I haven't noticed a change. The interface sure looks the same.

    In the past I've had no luck with boolean searches. Quite often I'll go to google when I need to do a boolean search (I isolate to the forum's site). Can the new forum search engine perform boolean searches? If so, any special formatting required?

    Anything else new? Hard to provide feedback without some basis of comparison.

    I was looking for a post I made a few months back and the search engine only goes back a short period of time. Is there a way to search that will include all activity/posts from a member ?

    Appears the search only goes back 30 days.

    Howard - Are you seeing the search tool screen in the attached picture?
    I know that Chris says this has been in place for a while, but until yesterday, I was seeing the old search list.

    No, I am not seeing the new interface. I am seeing the old search tool when I click on ADVANCED SEARCH.

    I see it when type in text next to magnifying glass.
    Advanced Search bypasses it.

    The Threadloom search is used for the basic search window. If you use Advanced, it uses the VBulletin search which isn't quite as good.

    I always go to advance search too. So I wouldn't have been seeing it either.
