Thread: Please remove or change search delay...

When I clicked on any of my results, the url was the same. The first page of the 1st gen forum. At least now, I have a better understanding why the delay is there. Thanks for your help and suggestions. Matt

It works a lot better than the search engine provided with the software we use, IMO. If you notice as well, OUR search engine is set to go back only six months because other searches tax the servers more. The option is there to change it, but most people just stick with the 6 month default. If you can't find what you're looking for, you can change that to go back further, through older posts.

You can't break it down to only look at a specific forum through Google since the only common part is the actual main domain name. If you look at the URL of this post at the top, the only thing common from page to page is www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev . The other problem that has to be worried about is the possibility of attacks by hackers executed searches over and over again trying to bring down the site. The delay helps mitigate that...

I had the same results earlier. I think when you paste the full URL of the HTML page into the site: criteria, it only searches that first page. And all results are that page. Every result I saw on Google was a link back to the 1st gen forum page. Plus, it appeared to only search within that page. I searched for Isspro, which was on the second page of topics in 1st gen, but the search returned no hits.

Don't click it. Paste it into a google search box, then type your search term right after it. Put a space between the url and the search term.

I agree, seems a lot of times, if a question comes up that been asked before, the first response is DO A SEARCH...but the search is a pain to use!

So that's what the google thing is for....... Didn't know how to use it.
