Hey Jon, would it be possible to update the search engine on this site? I`m somewhat computer illiterate and can`t seem to get it to work right. It seems to be more complicated then it needs to be. I put in certain key words in parenthesis or whatever you call them and nothing comes up. Also its not accurate because there are alot of posts under what I`m looking for and hardly any of those come up. I guess I`m used to using Google and it is pretty simple. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rhonda

Unfortunately it's not a quick fix. The search part of this forum software sucks, to put it simply. :(

I plan on upgrading the entire forum to a different software, vBulletin. At the moment they're wrapping up a new version, so as soon as they release the final I'll switch over.

As a side note, don't put your search term in parentheses. If you're looking for a phrase like "disc brakes" just type it in the search window and select "match as phrase" from the pulldown just to the right of the search window.

Will it be a painless seamless switch??

Will we have to go without our californiaspecial.com fix for a day or two :-[

For me or for you? ;)

The forum will probably have to be down for a few hours. Usually I upgrade late at night, so hopefully the disturbance will be minimal.

Jon, this is a good time to give you a great THANKS for this site. You do a lot of "behind the scenes" to keep this great community going glitch free. The calendar is another one that you do that is great. Many Thanks! Casey
