Seems the search engine is very very partial!

Try with voluptuous

You obtain just few result and alas not the very recent!

And try with "search engine" itself, it can't find this post itself!

The search engine is Google's custom search. As far as I know we do not have direct effect on what is indexed and what is not indexed by it. The Google algorythm decides... (anyhow I'll have a look into it if there is any way to influence it)

For search tasks what require more accuracy and not flexibility the "old" PhpBB search engine is still available at:

very cool : works very fine!

But where is now an icon or a clickable link about this old search engine ?

At the moment this link shows up only if you execute a standard search (e.g: "New Posts", "Your Posts", etc.) at the top of the result list as a "Return to advanced search" link.

If there is a need to insert a direct link to it on the other forum pages I'm sure we can find a place for it. The reason why we changed to Google's custom search is because there were many complains about the flexibility of the original PhpBB search engine.

pilou

yes an icon on the first page start for an direct advanced research will be very cool !

You could just make it a favourite or bookmark depending on what browser you use, then you don't even need to be on SU to get to it.

pilou

yes, but I am always on SU...ation so that is more practical!
