crelf Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I just did a search for "UML" and got nothing :thumbdown: I then tried "UML*" and got some hits, so I figure I'd add a post here - I did a search for "+search +sucks" and, you guessed it, no results! I finally found this post after searchinf for only "+sucks" Quote Link to comment
Norm Kirchner Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Well I may have to edit my original post. Nice job on the Google search. BUT WAIT!! Does anyone else see this problem... when I click on a search result, no page pops up and I have no popup blockers on and the only way to see the clicked result is to shift click the result and a new window pops up. I'm using IE 6.0 and No I can not use firefox, I like activex too much. -Norm Quote Link to comment

I'm using IE 6.0 and No I can not use firefox, I like activex too much. I'm running IE7 and it's working fine. What I mean is that when I click on a link it opens it in the same browser window. What was your expectation? Also, IE7 has tabs so you can shift+middleclick to open it in a tab. By default the links open in the same window, what are you looking for? Quote Link to comment
Norm Kirchner Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Well I suppose I didn't make the problem clear. Nothing happens when I click a link. nada. And I need to stay @ IE6. Quote Link to comment

I tried it in IE6 and it worked fine for me. Can anyone else confirm this? Quote Link to comment
PJM_labview Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I Just tried it in IE6 and it works just fine. Norm, I think its an issue with your configuration. PJM Quote Link to comment
Ton Plomp Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 The search still sucks! I was looking for this post the term toolbar did not return the post, I had to browse my attachment list to get there. Recently I was looking for this post the term gem did not return this post while the word is actual in the post! Looking for this discussion (Lava search SUCKS) with sucks or SUCKS both did not work the term should have been "LAVA search" :headbang: Ton Quote Link to comment
Yair Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Still sucky. I was reminded of this thread, so I tried looking for it. "Mel", "Kermit" or "Rogers" could not find it. In the end, I went into Google and searched for it and immediately found it. Is it possible the old posts are not properly indexed? Quote Link to comment

Yair Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 If I search from the search box in the bottom part of the specific forum the results are in, it works, but if I click the Forum Search link at the top of the page, it only returns the recent thread. In general it would have been nice if the search was more advanced. For example, the ability to search for posts from a specific user, the ability to narrow the results by time, having a page where you see all the options (like Google's advance search), having the link actually take you to the post where the text of your search is. Is it possible this is another FF\IE issue? I guess I will have to check it in FF. Quote Link to comment
Yair Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 By the way, this still seems to suck. Examples: "kermit mel" still does not find the thread we discussed earlier. "search sucks" still does not find this thread. "labview tool suggestion" (what I was actually looking for) does not find this thread. All of them seem to work fine through labviewsearch.com. Maybe the internal search engine just isn't indexing the content? Quote Link to comment
LAVA 1.0 Content Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 QUOTE (Yair @ Aug 11 2008, 02:04 PM) By the way, this still seems to suck.

All of them seem to work fine through labviewsearch.com. Maybe the internal search engine just isn't indexing the content? I have to second Yair's comments. I have a very difficult time trying to find things I know are on LAVA. With few exceptions, if the post did not occur recently (so that I can find it in the recent threads) I try once with my best guess and give up afterwards. I would be linking more LAVA threads on the Dark-Side if I could find them quickly. Ben Quote Link to comment

I haven't tried labviewsearch.com, but the search results is the reason that I do all of my searching for specific information on NI forums. Reading new posts here is great, but it seems pretty difficult to search for past postings in any meaningful way. Quote Link to comment

I'll work on trying to fix this in the future. Quote Link to comment
Yair Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Did you change something? It certainly didn't work when I posted that, but those two do work now. "kermit mel" returns this thread. Is it possible that the Google algorithm is affected by our activity? Quote Link to comment
