Hi everyone,

We have installed a Google search engine and opened it up for a more extensive test. In it's current configuration, it updates overnight - every night. The contents include data from the forums, the Parallax main site and the Scribbler Robot web site. You can reach the engine at:

http://search.parallax.com

Please let me know if you have any troubles or receive unexpected results.

Seems to be working quite well, Jim.· I search a few threads using minimum information and got good results.· It's a bit cluttered with those items from search areas other than the forum, but then you can't have everything.· Big improvement.

Sid,

I understand the clutter factor. There is a feature in the advanced search page that will allow you to target a specific domain (forums.parallax.com) for your searches. Violla, no more clutter! Thanks for the feedback.

Works great with the de-clutterer

Paul,

I'll leave perfect for theoretical statisticians [noparse]:)[/noparse]

We didn’t crawl 100% of the forums site, so there will be some missing pages. I’m working to overcome that issue over the next few days. There was a lot more on this site than I first estimated.

gotcha, my prior post may seem like nitpicking, I do appreciate a functional search engine. I don't expect noobs to use it anymore than they presently use google, but at least it will reduce the time for me to look for thier answer when I am so inclined.
