Searching the site
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2018 1:09 pm
I know I spoken directly on the topic, but I am struggling more and more to find old posts or relevant information posted previously. I know there is a limit on short words and also now common words, not sure what the limit is, but this is becoming more challenging. For example a week ago I was able to search Wonders List for the useful page covering all the Wonders machines, but now falls under the common search. I have tried google searching the site and its no good, with poor results. Also there is a advanced search function on the top left with a broken link, but behind that a advanced search. This does come back with short words and different results, but not complete which I have tested on a few pages. Headings are not included in search results as well.
It is getting to the point where potentially historically information will become useless and more of a blog. Also I for the likes of the Wonders list this is what I was referring to which could be in a structured location (database) where you can select or search by manufacturer. Currently the Museum area there are endless lists of pictures of all types of for example Allwin on no order or structure.
Remember all this is open feedback and not criticism, as I beleive one of the biggest values of the site is the data stored in it.....
