Rich ToscanoKeymasterI initially removed the search because it was a resource hog and given that you can use google, I didn’t really see the point of slowing down the site with it.
I’ve put a search function back in but this time it uses google search so the resource utilization is not an issue.
The old search was cool because you could filter results by content type (forum vs. story) and category. However it didn’t search all fields… for instance it would only search a forum topic initial post and none of the comments. That’s probably what’s being referred to above and it’s contrary to people’s usual search experience.
Anyway, I decided the pros of going google (better site performance, entire thread content gets searched) outweigh the cons (no filtering). Just thought I’d explain this all in case anyone was curious as to the decision process involved.

[quote=alarmclock]Only slightly related, but the “more” link under ‘other bubble bloggers’ disappeared after the last upgrade, I think.[/quote]
I did that on purpose because I don’t want to “scrape” other people’s content and have it readable here… that’s not fair to people with advertisers etc who are trying to boost their site readership. The point is to link to their sites, not recreate their content here.
