thats it i've had it with the vjf search function-->Poll<--

Seriously it would be cool if somthing could be done about the vjf search function, its so lame!!

tried searching for "broken v4" but can't cause v4 is under 3 characters and so im not alowed to search for it.

tried adding a wildcard, dont work either. thats just unhelpful really. not being able to search v4 on a vj forum sucks

thankfully google as usual was there to save the day
for the people who think adding a google seach bar would be pointless becuase it wont always have the most upto date inforamtion, who cares if its not from the last 2days, there are years and years worth of usefull inforamtion on this site, and people need to be able to acess it quickly and easily.

probably save noobs a lot of time, and save us a lot of time explaining the same old things becuase the vjc/vjf search function is so damn difficult!!

all in favour of a google assited search funtion, to complement the one we already have say I!!!

Alright the current ones not brilliant - but some minor optimisation should do the trick. I don't think google searchbars are site specific andwill lead you to external links (so you might as well be using google). Whereas an internal search engine feeds directly off the forums database.
Again it just comes down to another thing to add to the updated site list.

you can have a tick box with the google ones as to weather you want to search this specific site or the whole interweb.

I'm sure you can have a site-specific google searchbar.

In the meantime, try "site:vjforums.com v4" (without the quotes) as a search. This will return only items that exist within the vjforums.com domain.

And perhaps an extra search box beside the "post new thread" button?
