the old search was fine.
the new search is fine

Vote.

i get several result for "sort by date" how is that!
.

 

i think the poll would be better off if it was "Which search is better" Old or New....the options aren't the greatest...i don't like the new search but i liked the old one but i can't vote for both and if someone likes the new one they can't vote either....

 

Your poll makes no sense. You basically gave the same option, worded two different ways. You just asked people how they'd prefer to agree with you.

Anyway, can you please cite any specific problems or issues? I don't know that the search can be separated from the version of vBulletin, but I do know that it's really difficult to address concerns when people don't voice them articulately and with some degree of precision.

 

+1 ^ nicely put

 

I dont like the new search at all. Is there a a reason it was taken away from the homepage?

 

the search on the home page is the one thing i miss

 

This poll is totally unbiased.

 

just realised lol

 

The new search is much harder to use. Before it was a simple list by post date done deal. Now it's crap it's not unusable just simply not nearly as fast or concise.

 

Can a moderator change the obvious mistake in the POLL please

 

I was searching for something awhile back but it seems alot harder to find since like jasil said, the old search would pop up the latest post in a thread you're looking for say you're looking for info on Buschur double pumpers, it'll show the latest post in whatever thread. Now it'll give you weird percents and things and harder to navigate.

 

Hi everyone,

The old search created serious DB errors plus an indexer that randomly quit indexing. It will not be returning. The current search is a work in progress and your input is welcome relative to features that you would like to see. Please offer specific options. Thanks.

 

new search is great. this poll sucks

 

From what I understand, the issues with the new search are directly related to the DB errors caused by the old search.

To everyone, we're aware of the issues, and I assure you, when staff discovers them we immediately report them to IB.

 

I wish there was a search option on the home page like there was before
