I used to be able to put any subject in the search engine and a ton of great info always came up! Not Anymore! Did you guys delete all that info...
Gotta agree with the writer.
New design sucks just like every other blog site. Real crap.
Read my post, you can do the exact same thing now.I very much appreciated the "Search with Google" option provided with the old format.
I have to disagree. I have had good success with the new search. Better then the old and much more user friendly.Gotta agree with the writer.

Okay, I'll try that next time - thanks. But it was nice when that option was right here at the top of the page.
How about using Google.com with the following: "site:audiokarma.org" (don't use the quotation marks for the actual search) added to your search string?
Long as we're on the topic though. One thing that would help is to make the standard search NOT case sensitive.

Aha!
The search engine should also be smart enough to ignore "special characters" like the dash and such.
And the new version of the old vB system is widely known as a piece of crap. Can't tell you how many horror stories I've read of admins who have attempted converting to it and had given up, or attempted it and the new version ran so poorly, they switched software anyway. Not to mention the company behind that one is rather skeevy. It's not the same since the big corp bought them out...Going back is not an option -
The old site was badly broken with security issues you could drive a truck through. Really.

PS: Bringing back the old format would upset the majority of happy folks who have learned to adjust to the new forum. Kinda silly if you ask me and selfish/self centered to even suggest it. Like other people who are not complaining and happy with the new system don't matter.
