Now the DU search function is even better!

[Skinner]

Elad has just finished an overhaul of our search function to make it more user friendly and more powerful.

Now, when you click "Search" you are taken to a new Simple Search page that lets you easily perform general searches on active threads. Note that the default values have been changed so you can quickly perform the search you're trying to do.

For more powerful searches, we now have "Advanced Search" functionality. Just click the appropriate link on the Simple Search page and you are taken directly to the Advanced Search page.

The Advanced Search page lets you search all actived threads and archive threads. You can narrow your searches by the following criteria:

- Search by author and keyword.
- Search an entire thread, or just the first post.
- Search a specific date range, starting and ending on particular dates.
- Search active threads and archives seamlessly in the same search.

Click the search icon anywhere on DU to test it out!

1. Woo hoo!! Thanks Elad!

And thank you Skinner for bringing Elad on full-time! That's great news.

2. No, thank you!

Elad wouldn't be able to be a full-time employee if it weren't for all the generous donations from DU's members.

6. What AM I doing wrong??

I type in Janet
subject line
lounge
yadayada

and I get all kinds of thread titles that do NOT contain the word "janet"

it's that way with MOST things I have tried to search for..

[Elad]

7. You're searching replies as well

You need to specify to only search the original message.
